Getting Started Guide

> Print. In the Print dialog, click Properties and be sure the
printer is set to the same orientation (portrait or landscape) as
specified in the page setup for your document. (Usually the
orientation does not matter, but it does for brochures.)
2) Click Options. In the Pages section of the Printer Options dialog,
choose Brochure and Right pages. Click OK twice to print the
first side of each page.
3) Flip the pages and put them back into the printer, in the correct
orientation to print on the blank side. You may need to
experiment a bit to find out what the correct arrangement is for
your printer.
4) Choose File > Print and check Properties to make sure the
printer setup is still correct.
5) Click Options again. In the Pages section of the Printer Options
dialog, choose Brochure and Left page. Click OK twice to print
the second sides.
6) If your printer can do double-sided, then click on the options for
Left pages, Right pages, and Brochure, and it should not only
do those but collate too.
Printing envelopes
Printing envelopes involves two steps: setup and printing.
To set up an envelope to be printed by itself or with your document:
1) Choose Insert > Envelope from the menu bar.
2) In the Envelope dialog, start with the Envelope tab (Figure 85).
Verify, add, or edit the information in the Addressee and Sender
boxes (the “from” on the envelope).
You can type information directly into the Addressee and Sender
boxes, or use the right-hand drop-down lists to select the
database or table from which you can draw the envelope
information, if desired. See Chapter 11 (Using Mail Merge) in the
Writer Guide for details on how to print envelopes from a
database.
3) On the Format page (Figure 73), verify or edit the positioning of
the addressee and the sender information. The preview area on
the lower right shows the effect of your positioning choices.
To format the text of these blocks, click the Edit buttons to the
right. In the drop-down list you have two choices: Character and
Paragraph.
