I used to have access to XP Professional which included Publisher
(but now only have XP Home edition and Open Office 2.4) This enabled me to make up A5 sized brochures with many pages (A 4 in two columns) and the text would flow into the columns and the page numbers continue numbering sequencially in each column. When it came to printing, the document automatically printed the pages in the right order for folding into a booklet and stapling.
I have tried opening Writer to see if it will do this but find the instructions complex. I have gone into landscape and the typing will continue thourgh the columns OK, but the page numbering does not (column 2 still says page one. First column on the second page should read 3 but reads 2 etc.) Can publisher be used in the way I want, and is there any _*simple*_ way of finding out how to make it do this please? If this facility can easily be enabled I might become a convert to Open Office.(My printer - Brother DCP-135C - only prints one side. ) Thanking you Terence Scarborough
