[users] Re: Convert A4 to A5
Jim Morris jm...@bigpond.com wrote in message news:9CEC9D6D7BB54137840823611BE61AE4@WORKGROUP... Hello, I want to convert each A4 page of text into two A5 pages so I can print a booklet. How do I go about that? I have XP home SP3. I see under Format: Flip, but 'Flip vertically' 'Flip Horizontally' are disabled. Jim Not sure if this is sufficient or will achieve exactly what you want. Also assuming you don't have to many page styles. 1. Make a copy of your document in case this procedure messes it up ;-) 2. Go to FormatStyles and Formatting (or hit F11) 3. At the top left of the panel that opens there are 5 icons. Hover the mouse of the 4th. It should say Page Styles (the icon looks a bit like a page). 4 Click that icon to select the list of currently defined page styles. 5. Right click the style named Default. 6. Click Modify. 7. Select the Page tab. 8. Under Format (top left) choose A5 from the drop down list. 9. Click OK and then back out of the menu tree. 10. Save the result. If you want, at step 8 you can also alter the orientation from Portrait to Landscape. You may need to do some minor rearranging to weed out orphan paragraphs and/or tables that are now split in inconvenient places. If you have used more than one style, I think you need to do the above for each one; pain in the posterior but ... I don't know if there's a better way. Perhaps someone will let us know.

However, you might consider saving the output as a postscript file, then using pstops or psnup to reposition the pages. Only reply if you know how to do it. Hmmmph. That comes over as somewhat lacking in grace.

File - Page Preview - Format Page Select the Sheet tab Change Scaling Mode to: Fit print range(s) to width/height Set the width and height to 1 You may want to go to the Page tab and select the Landscape Orientation radio button.

[users] command line printing
Everyone, I am trying to print some *.doc files from the command line with openoffice 3.1.1 000310m19 (Build:9420) on centos 5.5 using cups as the print server. I can open the file from the command line with open office and then print it manually from the gui, but when I open the file and print from command line I am not getting anything. The commands that I have used are the following : /usr/bin/openoffice.org -pt lpt4 /mnt/lp/document.doc -terminate_after_init /usr/bin/openoffice.org -pt lpt4 -p /mnt/lp/document.doc -terminate_after_init /usr/bin/openoffice.org -headless -pt lpt4 -p /mnt/lp/document.doc -terminate_after_init /usr/bin/openoffice.org -headless -pt lpt4 -p /mnt/lp/document.doc -terminate_after_init In each of these cases the command line finishes back to the # prompt, but nothing prints on lpt4. Has anyone tried to use the command line options for openoffice and have the syntax as to how it works. I tried to create a macro and use it from the command line as well. openoffice.org -invisible /mnt/lp/document.doc macro:///Standard.Module1.print_lpt4 The above command starts openoffice in the gui; this command automatically prints the document to lpt4 and openoffice remains open until it is closed by the user. openoffice.org -invisible /mnt/lp/document.doc macro:///Standard.Module1.print_lpt4 -terminate_after_init The above command executes but nothing happens on the printer and the command line prompt is returned. The closest I have come to success is : openoffice.org -minimized -headless document.doc macro:///Standard.Module1.print_lpt4 macro:///Standard.Module1.end_of_print However the above command requires the X11 to work and will not work in a script in the background. I had posted this request for help on the CentosUsers list at first but was advised to bring the request here. Is this problem a known bug? Is there a work around for it? I sure need to be able to accomplish printing *.doc files from a perl script. Thanks much for any assistance you can give me. -- Greg Ennis PoMec Corporation www.PoMec.net - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Greg Ennis Additional information : I tried using the following command on a Fedora14 system which worked perfectly : openoffice.org -pt lpt4 document.doc On Fedora14 the openoffice version is 3.3.0 000330m20 (Build:9567) Looks like there is a Bug in 3.1.1 The OO Bug forums are down today so I was not able to enter this.
