Where printer is not duplex capable and Brochure print option is selected, the 
existing UI selection process of firstly, Right Pages (for front pages), 
followed by Left Pages (for back pages), could be improved. I believe it would 
be appropriate to include the words "Front" and "Back" in the Printer Options 
dialogue box as an aid and to remove confusion. The underlying Help could also 
include the requirement to select "Reversed" when proceeding to the Left Pages 
(back pages) step.
For example...

[] Left (back) pages
[] Right (front) pages

... or something similar.

Perhaps a popup would also help when the "[] Brochure" option is checked. The 
popup could remind the user to print Right firstly then Left secondly.

Currently, your help file states the following regarding brochure operation:

"Brochure
Select the Brochure option to print your document in brochure format. The 
brochure format is as follows in OpenOffice.org Writer:
If you print a document in portrait on a landscape page, two opposing sides in 
a brochure will be printed next to each other. If you have a printer with 
double-sided printing capability, then you can create an entire brochure from 
your document without having to collate the pages later. If you have a printer 
that only has single-sided printing capability, then you can achieve this 
effect by first printing out the front pages with the Right pages option 
marked, then re-inserting the entire paper stack in your printer and printing 
all the back pages with the Left pages option marked."
