It's not hard to do if you start from scratch. I suspect you got a "circular flow" warning message because when you began creating your layout, text frames 4 and 1 were already connected. That said, if you have Acrobat (or a physical printer with a booklet option), which will do the imposition for you, don't do it in FM. In FM, define the pages to be the finished page size (5.5 x 8.5, if your booklet will be created from folded US letter pages). That way, you're not dealing with that weird text flow jump from the second page back to the first, and if you end up having to expand to 6 or 8 pages instead of 4, you're not tearing your hair out. :-) Richard G.
