Had a similar project that involved a service bureau that required
PostScript files to select the cover stock from Top Bin and text paper
from lower bin.

I setup two different Page types via Format|Page|Paper Size... where I
created a "Cover" and "Booklet" paper sizes. 

The macro inserted the "Cover" page size at the top of the file, then
ran a merge to insert the customers name, etc., then it inserted a
HardPage followed by the "booklet" page size.  

hope this helps.
