And then Johannes COMPLETELY misses the point. The point is that OpenOffice supports brochure printing and it works perfectly - I use it a lot. The problem is that you have to specify, for example, that you are printing an A5 portrait page in the page format, but are printing on A4 landscape in the printer settings - and the OpenSuSE tailored versions of OpenOffice have removed the option to specify paper orientation in the Printer Settings. Why? Brochure printing works perfectly with "vanilla" OpenOffice. Brochure printing does not work at all with OpenSUSE OpenOffice. Why do SUSE/Novell remove Paper Orientation from Printer Settings when tailoring? Like Jens, I always have to use the openoffice.org version, unlike Jens, English is my language. -- Chris Janman at work chris.janman@devon.gov.uk +44 (0)1392 382459 at home cjanman@attglobal.net +44 (0)1803 712362 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
