------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Dec 8 23:48:58 -0800 2005 ------- I have been trying to print my A5 OpenOffice.org Draw brochures, but I've been experiencing a problem with the margins. First, I perform the following steps to get my A5 brochures to print on A4 landscape pages: 1) Design each page as A5 with all margins at 1.5cm 2) Open the File|Print dialog 3) Set the Properties|Paper Size to A4 and Orientation to Landscape <click OK to go back> 4) Set the Options|Brochure|Front (only) to be checked <click OK to go back> 3) Click Ok to print my brochure The result is that the front side of my brochure prints. However, (viewing the page in landscape) the top and bottom margins are 1.9cm, the right margin is 1.8cm, and the left margin is 2.6cm! The inside margin (between the two A5 pages) is 2.8cm. This is clearly not correct. The result that I am expecting is for all the outer margins to be 1.5cm and the inside margin (between the two A5 pages) to be 3cm. NB: When I create a portrait A4, set margins to 1.5cm, draw a large wireframe box, print, and then measure with a ruler, all the margins are just under 1.5cm which is correct. Thus, this problem is not related to the physical margin capabilities of my printer. I have also tried designing my pages in A4 and then printing them as a landscape A4 booklet (i.e. the pages are shrinked before printing them side-by-side on a landscape A4). This results in 1.5cm left margin, 1.5cm top margin, 1.5cm bottom margin, 2.2cm right margin, and 2cm inside margin. This is also incorrect. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
