I made the same assumption. If you are trying to create a booklet or
pamphlet, assuming eight pages, where page one and eight are on one side of
the paper and page two and seven on the other, try QuiteImposing
(www.quite.com). It works as a plugin for Acrobat and does just this. The
only limitation I have found, and it is a physical one, is in the actual
number of pages and it has to do with creep. When you get up to around 48
pages, the edge opposite the binding starts to creep so badly that when you
trim this edge, you start to lose text.

When Mike posted his question, it wasn't completely clear if the problem was
with the page layout, or his printer. If it's the printer as everyone is
suggesting, then Mike would be wise to take his project to a local
'photocopy' store that can print from Word, and let them print it off. Might
be less frustrating to do it that way.
Also, in the event that no one on this list is able to help out, try the
news group: comp.os.ms-word.apps.word.proc
