My problem now, is that I seem to have snookered myself. I was trying to emulate a booklet produced on a Windows machine, with the front cover a different colour from the rest, to differentiate it from the previous year's booklet. I suspect that can only be achieved if one laboriously has non-flowing frames, with each page set up to produce (say) two sets of pages 1 & 16 with 2 sets of pages 2 & 15 on the reverse? Is it back to square one then?
Printing lets you set a "range" of pages, and this is very versatile, you can enter pages 1,3,16,17, or 1-100,102,103-190 (see the manual). That would be the usual way of setting up to print only the cover pages of a pamphlet. I guess it will work for booklets too.
The thing with a booklet is that you potentially have 8 pages on one sheet of paper. I say potentially because if the booklet is not a multiple of 8 pages long, OP does something clever and doubles the pages on one sheet.
Anyway, assuming that you want the outside 2 pages and their 2 backs on coloured paper, one is left wondering about the other 4 pages on the sheet.
