OpenOffice question

[Susan Cragin]

OpenOffice has the same feature. I use it all the time to print booklets. And I use it to make paper inserts for my Franklin Planner. 
Here's what you do. 
Tools / Options / OOo Writer / Print 
   Check "Brochure"
Format / Page / Change page size to whatever (I use half a standard sheet, so 5.5 x 8.5)
Shrink the margins to what you want. 
Set up headers, footers, etc. 
Change printer settings to print on both sides of the page. 
Then print the first 4 pages and see if they come out in booklet format.

>I'm stuck using Word Perfect on Windows XP until I figure this out. WP allows you to make booklets; subdividing the page into blocks you define without using tables. I can't find anything like that in OO. Tables aren't really an option because of the way tables and text interact.
