Readers Spread: What you would actually see on the screen if you where reading the booklet, I must get my pages in the correct position before printing, I initially need content on my pages - When looking in the pages option. I have noticed that all the pages have a 'A' in the top corner.
Simply go onto select the left master page and create a text frame:
From here select the drop down menu and follow this down to select Insert Special Character - Markers and the finally current page number.
To apply these page numbers to the right pages simply hold alt and drag to the right page.
Now moving onto printing the booklet:
First step is to select print booklet - then choose the booklet type - Print settings - go through the normal print settings, selecting paper size always landscape - position of the page marks and bleed
From here select Printer options
Select two sided - long or short edged binding, this is determined by which edge the bing will be on, - click print and then ok.
I can use the preview to check to see if all my pages are in the correct order.

Hold the paper in place and align the top arm over the spine. Hold the booklet in place with your hands or by placing a heavy object on top of each side.Align the stapler arm so the head of the stapler is oriented in the middle of the booklet, where you'd like the first staple to be.
