You peoples are awesome! Regina gives the most descriptive answer. Tom, how did U know I sent the question from a phone? I guess my signature gave me away. I was at her office then and she doesn't have internet (which rules out the option of posting her questions to this list by herself).
In general, you (all) are wonderful. I was able to figure out how to get two page numbering schemes on one document (using user styles and page breaks). I think this is SOLVED and LibreOffice has proven to be sufficient. Thanks to you all. --------------------------------------------- from [email protected] :) -----Original Message----- From: Regina Henschel <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 24 Oct 2011 16:42:55 To: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Two in One Page Hi, Onyeibo Oku schrieb: > I introduced a friend to LibreOffice and ever since I've become some > sort of support personnel.

Such setting is part of the printing dialog. So must not use the button for printing, but use menu File -> Print. In the printing dialog is a tab 'Page Layout' where you can arrange the pages on the paper sheet. She might need to set the paper orientation to landscape in the printer properties in additon. In older versions of OpenOffice.org is was possible too. You had to switch to 'page preview'. There use the icon 'printer options' (that with hand and finger) to arrange the pages on the paper sheet, and then print using the print icon from that toolbar, no other printing way. Outside of LibreOffice the best way I found is to export to PDF and use the settings in the print dialog of the Acrobat Reader.
