You missed what I suggested: you can achieve what you want -
perhaps surprisingly - simply by *printing* four-page sections from
your existing document.
Yes, I guess I did misunderstand you. Do you mean doing ^P 64 times,
and selecting the next 2 pages, and turning it over to print the
back sides? Or is there a way to do this automagically?
Do you, perhaps, mean set up "Print pages" as "1,4 (some separator,
not sure what) 5,8" - etc. and then turning it over to do "2,3 (some
separator) 6,7" - etc.? (This because it is not a duplex printer.)
No: the former - except that you don't need to print the pages in
twos. My point was that you don't need to tell Writer to print 1 and
4 together and then 2 and 3 together: if you print pages 1 to 4 in
one process (in the way I describe), you will get one sheet in the
configuration you require (turning the paper manually if
necessary). And then the same for pages 5 to 8, and so on.
All I had tried was File | Print... and then entering "1-4" or "5-8"
separately, in order to print individual sheets . And no: I've now
tried "1-4,5-8", and Writer is intelligent enough to realise that
"1-4,5-8" is the same as "1-8" and prints the brochure as it thinks
you want, not as you do. But the technique I suggested does allow
you to print, albeit tediously, from a single document.
