I used to print a lot of booklets, that's a simple job to do in OOO, just create the booklet in A5 size, select the printer, go to printer properties, select paper size to A4 and orientation to "Landscape", go to advanced print settings and click "brochure".
I was a bit surprised this option is 'removed' from SuSE native OOO package, the option "Orientation" simply isn't there, the OOO on Gentoo and Windows have 5 options on "Printer Properties" and OOO on SuSE there is 4 option.
What's the best solution for me now? Shall I install OOO from openoffice.org (the official RPM)?
Dang! You are right! I couldn't for the life of me understand where that function had gone!

Sometimes I get the impression that the SUSE developers think they know what we want, better than we do. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

You did not mention which version of OOO you were usinge. I believe the portion that yuare looking for is at format->page. There you can select the paper and orientation. Sometimes, you need to go to the page preview, to set the page correctly. I had to fiddle with this for awhile. I believe they changed this in pre-beta 2.0 version of OOO. I know that the windows version works similiar to the way you describe. -- Joseph Loo jloo@acm.org -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

There is often a difference in PAGE SIZE and PAPER size in most popular wordprocessor and a lot of publication tools, including MS Word. And in most cases, paper size is set only when the user select to print, because it doesn't make a lot of sense to set paper size as pare of information of document itself. This is why OOO put paper size selection on the Print dialogue. The page size set in the print-preview also do not have effect when printing in booklet / brochure mode (in the Advancd Print Options). The OOO on Gentoo and Windows both is in the way I described, as well as most word processors. Besides, the pre-beta 2.0 OOO on Gentoo is also the way I described, as well as pre-beta offical Windows installation. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
