That's not quite what I was looking for (perhaps it doesn't exist). The
brocure printing option along with the double-sided option prints four
1/2 sheet pages per side, 2 half pages each front and back. The
numbering goes essentially 4,1 (on the front) and 2,3 (on the reverse).
The printed pages can be folded in half, stacked (folded), and then the
"spine" stapled or somehow bound together.
What I was hoping to find is some way short of physically manipulating
the half pages so that it prints two half pages per side, front and
back, but prints the sequence in such a way that when the pages are
stacked together unfolded, then stapled down the middle and the entire
stack folded down the center as a single unit, the pages will appear in
the correct sequence!
Perhaps the only way to do this is to first figure out the total number
of pages/sheets, and then create a dummy brochure with the same number
of pages/sheets, then rearrange the page sequence. Next, manipulate the
pages into the proper sequence in the software, then print using the
double-sided brochure option. That would involve a heck of a lot of
cutting and pasting, which I'd prefer to avoid since our paid ads are
placed along with text, and adjusted to make best use of each page.

Twice a year our Barbershop organization presents a singing performance

collating, stapling, etc.
I'm trying to switch our entire Marketing and Public Relations team over
to OOo, and am looking for a template or other information about how to
create these programs. Obviously, the pages have to be printed in such
a way that the 8.5" X 11" sheets stack together, then fold into a
properly sequenced multi-page program.
Is there such a template, or where might I find instructions about how
to do this?
Built-in to the printing options. Called brochure. For an example,
see http://www.barttersyndrome.com/program.pdf which I created in
OOo1.9beta and exported to PDF. I used a page size of Tabloid in OOo and
adjusted the font sizes et cetera to suit the brochure on USletter
paper.
