Operation Manual

Selection printing
To print a selection from a page or multiple pages:
1) In the document, highlight the section of the page or pages to print.
2) Go to File > Print on the main menu bar or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+P to open the
Print dialog and then select the General page (Figure 227).
3) In the Ranges and copies section, select the Selection option.
4) Click Print to print the document.
Brochure or booklet printing
In Writer, Impress, and Draw, you can print a document with two pages on each side of a sheet of
paper, arranged so that when the printed pages are folded in half, the pages are in the correct
order to form a booklet or brochure.
Tip
Plan your document so it will look good when printed half size; choose appropriate
margins, font sizes, and so on. You may need to experiment.
Single-sided printer
To print a brochure or booklet on a printer only capable of single-sided printing:
1) Go to File > Print on the main menu bar or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+P to open the
Print dialog and then select the General page (Figure 227).
