To be honest, I have not needed to make a booklet lately, maybe for 2 years. I have tried the printing of Tabloid [double Letter] in Landscape with the pages in Letter/Portrait. But I have not tried the booklet. The last work I did was a 4 Letter page [one Tabloid sheet] document that I had to manually "duplex". Needed only about a dozen copies. I also used "print page" option to print out the proper page order on the sheet, like I always did with PageMaker 7. But it is good to know that if I needed to do 2 or more sheets of Tabloid paper, it will be easily done. One reason I did not test it on my tabloid paper, was the price of the paper itself. It is hard to find it locally, so I usually have to order it online. I can never find the 13x19 inch paper, so it is also an online purchase. Shipping costs or paper can be expensive, when I cannot get a deal on shipping from the paper [or office supply] site. I just received my first batch of "pastel" colored paper in Tabloid size, so I could use that paper instead of Letter size paper with a staple or two. I also have a stock of photo paper in all sized from 4x6 to 13x19 inches, except 5x7 inch. I do some photo/poster printing for people. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
