Print document as booklet (brochure) in OpenOffice


You can print a Writer document as a brochure or a booklet. That is,Writer prints two pages on each side of the paper, so that when you fold the paper, you can read the document as a book.

When you create a document that you want to print as a brochure, use portrait orientation for the pages. Writer applies the brochure layout when you print the document.

To Print a Brochure

  1. Choose File - Print.
  2. In the Print dialog, click Properties.
  3. In the properties dialog for your printer, set the paper orientation to landscape.

If your printer prints duplex, and because brochures always print in landscape mode, you should use the "duplex - short edge" setting in your printer setup dialog.

  1. Return to Print dialog, and click Options.
  2. In the Pages area of the Printer Options dialog, select Brochure.
  3. For a printer that automatically prints on both sides of a page, specify to print right pages and left pages.
  4. In the Print dialog, click OK
