Printing multiple indesign files in order..

Hi

Is there a way I can print multiple pages at once. Which i know for this you can use the file > new > book which is what I have been using.

But i was wondering is there a way to print them all in order of pages. As I have all the pages numbered. As I want to be able to fold the A3 paper in half, and treat it like it was actually properly printed with the spreads being folded in half as they should be.

But for this page 2-3 printing them on a spread would really be page 2 and last page (from the back). If that makes sense.

Basically without setting them up in own indesign document which requires a lot of copying and pasting. I just want to be able to select all my indesign files. which are called:

example_page-2-3.indd

example_page-3-4.indd

example_page-5-6.indd

And so on. Printing facing pages in seperate documents.

I hope this makes sense! Its hard to explain

Thanks!

Edit:

Upon watching tutorials best way i can explain it is...

I want to print a booklet from multiple indesign documents with the right pages facing one another

I think the easiest way to do this would be to make a PDF from the book, and then use the Booklet Printing function (from InDesign, or from your Printer Driver) to print your booklets from the PDF.

But I only want to print pages 5-6 on each document. Just wondered if there was a way to save time in opening up every document selecting the pages and pasting them into another .indd to print in the right order
