Create a new document in landscape orientation with a half-inch border and two columns separated by an one-inch space. The new page should resemble the layout used to create the covers.
Copy and paste text from the Mass booklet document into the new document so that the content for Page 4 appears in the left-hand column and Page 1 appears in the right-hand column. Print the page and then set the page aside.
Create a new page within the document containing pages 4 and 1 of the mass booklet. Copy and paste the Mass booklet content so that page 2 appears in the left column and page 3 in the right column.

The printed sheet should have pages, from left to right, 4 and 1 on one side and pages 2 and 3 on the other. Fold the page in half so that the fold appears between the columns and the pages read like a book.
