Good afternoon!

Page Imposition is pretty easy in Writer. Her is the excerpt straight from
the Help file:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is found under Print in Help. :)

Subject: [discuss] Page imposition software.

I am looking for imposition software. This is for making booklets and bound
publications - page 1 and page 4 go on one side of a sheet and
page 2 and page 3 on the other.

For an 8 page publication, one sheet has page 1 and 8/2 and 7, the other has
3 and 6/4 and 5. Likewise for 12 and 16 pages. This arrangement of pages is
called Imposition. There is software available commercially as an Acrobat
plug-in but the price is extortionate. Also it is desirable to have crop
marks optional. Can't find anything for Linux, if it doesn't exist it would
make a good add-on for open office. 4 pages on on sheet go 1,4 right way up
at bottom and 2,3 upside down.
