Ensure that only text is selected for copying, or else the whole of the page will be transferred. You will find that the formatting is retained if you paste into Open Office Writer, (obtainable free on the internet). If you wish to print as an A5 booklet, you will either have to reorganise the pages manually, or use a duplex printer for double-sided printing. This is the best option.
