How do I get my OpenOffice Writer to print landscape? I take it there
is more to be done than simply change the printing parameters in the

Hi.
Format/Page.../Tab Page/Adjustment - Landscape (Translated from
Swedish) Inge Svensson
Thanks. I'll try it. So, what does the print setup > Properties >
Orientation do? Seems superfluous.
I agree. Please vote for
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=47121
That issue is muddled, and I couldn't figure out what it was proposing.
It seems to me that there are two different things here. The Format/Page
property defines what direction normal English text appears on the page.
But the printer properties define the direction that the paper will be fed
into the printer. Printers which accept only one direction will ignore this
setting (I think).
What is the OP trying to do? Arrange the text to read left to right when the
paper has the long side at the top, or is he trying to feed the paper into
the printer long side first?
Okay. You like to set printer options twice. I do not. If you think the
RFE can be made clearer, please update it.
I haven't posted for ages but here goes:
For printing A5 'brochures' on A4 paper, on my everyday box which is
still running with OOo 1.1.4 (for a variety of reasons) the following
routine prevailed:
Set your document format to Portrait and A5
Set your printer:
File > Printer Settings > Properties > Orientation > Landscape
File > Printer Settings > Properties > Paper size > A4
To print:
File > Print > Job > select Print Range and then Options > in the Pages
Column tick Left or Right (or both, depending on your printer) AND don't
forget to tick Brochure > OK > Print.
However, I'm now exploring OOo 2.0.2 which came with FC5 which I've
recently installed on my laptop and it seems that at least one parameter
set under 'printer settings', i.e. orientation, is overridden by choices
made under
File > Print > Paper > Page Orientation.
I agree that it would appear that
File > Printer Settings > Properties > Orientation
is now redundant/superfluous.
Confusing, ain't it?
Peace,
Jeff
