Try this: Open the document. File - Printer Settings; make sure the options are set to produce 'brochure'; OK Then File - Page preview; click on the 'Print options page view ' icon; set the resulting view to 2 pages side by side (probably landscape). OK Then File - Print to your pdf virtual printer (primopdf/pdfcreator etc) I find that sometimes it's necessary to set the view to portrait/landscape in the 'print options page view' screen several times, saving between each switch, and sometimes switching the 'brochure' option off and on as well to get the print output to actually do what it is supposed to. It can be such a pain that now I output to a pdf file and print brochures from that. pdf printing just works. -- John johnmking...@yahoo.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
