Hello:
I am with a not-for-profit organization. The members have re-written
the by-laws that need to be printed for first publication for approval.
The form is to be in final form for the review.
I have read "Getting Started with Open Office" and "Open.Office.org
2.0 Writer Guide" and am still feeling at awe. Is there someone who
give me some guidance on doing such. In Styles I think is the best
way.
There is to be a cover (page blank on back side, no numbering which
is to start with first page),
A declaration and reasoning.
Then starting on the right page and numbering of pages with
indexing.
Article I Title I
Section 1 Title 1
wording
Section2 Title 2
wording
A (a list)
B
C
Section 3 Title 3
wording
Article II Title II
Section 1 Title 1
etc
A ToC By both Article Title and Section Title, or just by Section Title
An index by selected words.
Further the printed output is to be on letter size (A4?) paper with four
pages on the front and 4 on the back to be cut to size (about 4 1/4 * 5
1/2 or about 11cm * 14 cm) with adequate margins, header (title) and
footer (page #). That is the front would be pages 1, 3, 5, 7 whilst the
back would be 4, 2, 6, 8 to correspond with the front.
You may not be able to get 4 pages to a sheet as you describe, but
certainly 2 per sheet in the required page ordering for front and back
printing is easy to do in Writer. And you should still be able to get
your required final page size one way or another.
The File -> Print dialog in Writer has an option to print "Brochures",
which according to the online Help does as follows:
"If you print a document in portrait on a landscape page, two opposing
sides in a brochure will be printed next to each other. If you have a
printer with double-sided printing capability, then you can create an
entire brochure from your document without having to collate the pages
later. If you have a printer that only has single-sided printing
capability, then you can achieve this effect by first printing out the
front pages with the Right *pages* option marked, then re-inserting the
entire paper stack in your printer and printing all the back pages with
the *Left pages* option marked.*"*
Setting up an 8 page document, this produces 2 sheets printed 2 pages
per side with document pages placed as follows:
Sheet 1 front: 8,1
Sheet 1 back: 2,7
Sheet 2 front: 6,3
Sheet 2 back: 4,5
If I place the second sheet on top of the first and fold, I get pages
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 as a booklet.
Click the Options button in the File -> Print dialog and tick the
Brochure box, then in the main Print dialog, choose the Landscape print
orientation. Writer should now be set up to print 2 portrait oriented
document pages side-by-side per side in the correct page ordering as above.
Regarding sheet sizes, A4 is not the same as Letter size, so if you use
Letter size then I don't know what the appropriate sheet size would be
in what follows, but if you were using metric sheet sizes then I would
suggest that you might create your document with an A5 page format (half
the size of A4) and then print as a Brochure (2 pages per side as
before) to A5 size paper. This would give you the final size that you
want after being folded in half into a booklet. Most printers (laser or
bubble jet) can accept smaller sized paper.
If you're creating a master to go to a commercial printer then they will
be able to photo reduce A4 or Letter originals if you prefer.
