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.
