    Print booklet doesn't work with different size pages

      I thought I had a wonderful idea to switch my complicated template for a regular monthly piece that has an off-center fold to use InDesign CS5 new different size pages.  But in redoing my template, I discovered that once you have different size pages, the print booklet feature no longer works. This may not seem like a huge problem, since the printer does do the imposition on this piece, however, we wouldn't be able to easily test print the piece and/or create mockups for inhouse use prior to the piece going to the printer.  Has anyone worked up an imposition solution for this new ID CS5 feature?

       

      The particular piece that I'm working with is a half letter booklet that has a fold that is offset by .25 inches to create a half inch lip on the last half of the pages.  When the booklet is only 4 pages, manually imposing the pages to test the fold is no problem, but sometimes this piece is 8 or 12 pages and the various designers get confused with how the piece goes together within ID and manually imposing it would be even more confusing.
