How to Print Booklets in Open Office

1. Launch the OpenOffice.org Writer program. A blank document will open. Begin typing your information into the document. When you are finished, save the file by selecting 'Save As' from the File menu.
2. Set the page orientation. From the File menu, choose Print. In the print dialog box, choose 'Properties.' Set the paper orientation to 'Landscape.' Click 'OK.'
3. Return to the Print dialog and select Options. From the Pages area, select 'Brochure.' If your printer has the option to print on both sides of the page, select 'Print Right Pages and Left pages.' Click 'OK.'
4. Print the document. If your printer can print on both sides of the page, you can print the entire booklet without having to collate. You can achieve the same result if your printer only prints on one side of a page by first selecting 'Right Pages' from the Pages area, then refeed the pages into the printer and change the print setting to 'Left Pages' from the Pages area.
