Setting up for printer.

Question

I'm submitting something to a printer for a friend: four comp-slip sized, double sided leaflets on an A3 Page.
I'm doing that because it's how the printer says they can deal with the bleed.
This is the front:
And this is the back
I'm not sure what to do about lining up the front and the back so that they print precisely.  The leaflets aren't centered on the page although they are only off by about 3mm.  If my front leaflet is like this:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 3mm space
Should the back leaflet be the same or like this:
3mm | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1
If they are the same then I am good to go but if they are different, how can I get my page and all the guides to flip L to R?
I know this is a really basic question but it has come up for me because I have never done this before and probably, never will again!
Thanks ever so,
Martin

Hi Martin,
You will definitely want to double check with your printer, but it seems to me that the back leaflet should be like this: 3mm | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1, like you thought. Please check with your printer though.
As for solving your problem, my first suggestion would be to simply group the leaflets, center them within the page, and repeat this for the backside. However, it seems like this may have occurred to you and is not possible, so you could try moving the artboard for the back leaflet.
Here's how you do it:
The Artboard tool is fourth from the bottom in the tool bar. When you click on it and try to move your artboard, your artwork will move along with it. To keep objects and guides from moving, make sure the "Move/Copy Artwork with Artboard" button is not activated. It's at the top of the interface with the artboard options.
You can move the artboard precise increments (3mm, for you) by changing the values in the X and Y fields.
I hope your leaflets turn out beautifully!
