No. The only thing that looks like it could be raw output is the choice in the properties subdialog of the print dialog called "Printer Language Type" which allows selection of pdf (the default) and several levels of postscript, one of which is labelled "from driver" which I assume means use the driver says it likes ps. How does OO do printing? Does it produce a pdf and then hand that off? If so, then presumably the print to file option for pdf is the exact output that would be fed to the print mechanism? When sending to the printer I have the option of different varieties of postscript as well as pdf (default), but print to file only shows pdf so I assume that's what oo produces? If I print to file and generate a pdf, it looks ok, but of course it is page-by-page without any duplexing operating. It is behaving as if there is a %%Requirements: duplex (tumble) command in the postscript file. I suspect the problem is in the print system, not oo, but it would be nice to get the output from OO right before it goes to the print mechanism, and then also know what the cmd is that it's using to send to the print spooler.

duplex pages upside down
I'm not sure what caused this, as I haven't printed any duplex pages for a while, but now the back side of double-sided pages is printing upside down. The printer is an hp officejet pro 8500. I'm on a freebsd (*nix) system, using gutenprint/cups as the print driver. If I look at the page preview, the second sheet is properly oriented.

Re: Is anyone using Apple Pages?
I have Apple’s Pages ’09 version 4.3 (1048). I rarely use it because I prefer AOO 4.0. I am attaching two documents that you asked someone to send. One is blank the other says "hello world". I'm sure many other people responded to this but I thought I would to. Heck, I just might learn something from the experience. I am using OS X Version 10.8.4 I have a problem. When I want to email a document created in AOO 4.0, I clink on the email envelope (Document as E-mail), my Apple Mail program opens, but not with a new blank email that I can address and send. I have to open a new new email page and start from scratch.

How to display pages with no breaks between them
Dear OpenOfficers: Thanks for your time and support on this admittedly simple question: Before swtiching to OO, I used ms word, where it was possible to view text documents continuously: i.e., pages were separated by one line only. To set this up, one went to the 'View' heading and chose 'Normal.' Now, in OO, pages are separated by a blue area, so when one goes down a multi-page document, there's a jump after every page. The document is discontinuous, which I don't like. So, the questions: is it possible in OO for pages to be separated by one line (and not by the gap described above)? How to set this up? How to make this the default for viewing documents? Thanks all around.

Use Page Style Right Page, modified on its Organiser tab (via /Format /Styles and Formatting) to have subsequent style Right Page. Also, in /Tools /Options OpenOffice.org Write : Print, check Print automatically inserted blank pages, to cause it to print the blank left pages. -- Rory O'Farrell - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

So, the questions: is it possible in OO for pages to be separated by one line (and not by the gap described above)? Not that I know of. But you may be able to make use of View | Web Layout, which displays your document without its page structure (but doesn't lose what you have in the document); this enables you to concentrate on the text itself and not the final layout. How to make this the default for viewing documents? Again, I don't think you can. But this viewing style appears to be saved with documents, so you would need to set it only once for each document. You could also save a template in Web Layout view, even perhaps making this your default template for new documents. But I see no way of making this happen automatically for documents you receive from others. I trust this helps.

On my documents, in Print Preview, the only hint that blank pages have been inserted is in the page numbers.

Re: Deleting pages
Hi Gary, Gary Beers schrieb: How do you delete blank pages, My document has 3 pages, and one is blank when previewed and I cant get rid of it. It is easier to answer, when you can provide the document. Additional possible reason (besides those you have got already): You have an object, for example a picture, anchored to the third page. Then the second page cannot be deleted. The anchor remains on page 3, it is not shifted, when a page before it is deleted. You have to move the anchor first.
