------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jan 17 15:56:26 +0000 2008 ------- When using Writer for creating booklets, we have to use the "brochure" style. However, Writer prints all pages to form a single "signature" (i.e., a stack of the printed folded sheets.) But when the number of sheets is large (say 10), they do not fold properly: The outer pages do not get a crisp fold: They have a rounded fold. Such a book would look ugly (without crisp corner-edges at the rib), and the binding will not last. The only way to create a proper book is to manually print each "signature" separately and finally stack them together to form a book. This is tedious. Desired: Writer should have a built-in facility to print all sheets in terms of "signatures". (All it would do is to split the print job in batches of x sheets, where x is the number of sheets in a "signature".) The number of sheets in each signature can be 20 sheets, or whatever is the industry-standard in commercial binding. Obviously, the last signature in the book will have less number of sheets. Another book-binding style is to fold sheets (each having print of 4 pages in landscape mode), and then stack these folded sheets to form a book. These books are sewn/stitched sideways. Reference on commercial binding styles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_binding#Modern_commercial_binding I am attaching samples to illustrate my point. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
