/Shameless Plug/
I can't solve your formatting problems (I would like to make a similar
document in the future.), but, if you use an inkjet printer or one that
prints in the same page order, etc. my duplexpr utility package (for
Linux) https://sourceforge.net/projects/duplexpr/
can make printing two-sided documents much easier on a printer that does
not support duplex printing in hardware.
(I realize this won't help the OP.)

Yes really. You can see an example at

funeral mass.
Thanks. I downloaded and printed it -- it looks great. And, yes, that
is exactly what I am trying to do.
in landscape mode.
When I choose Format > Page > Landscape I still get four-to-a-page.
Are you using print preview? This is the only mode of OOo that produces
multiple pages as you describe.
No, I'm not. Really.
The pages
are reduced in size to fit on the one page.
My pages are reduces in size to fit on the page -- again,
four-to-one. I have to boot to Windows 98 (it's a dual-boot system)
-- the Windows driver lets me do everything -- the linux driver lets
me do only a couple of things.
I think that you are doing something different than what I expect. Try
this, open your document, go to File > Print and click.
Yes, that is what I do.
THis should
bring up a dialogue window.
It does.
Select options in the bottom left, This
opens another dialogue from which you select right pages and brochure.
I do.
Then set your printer properties to landscape and finally click ok.
There's the rub. I click on the 'Properties' button, it stays
depressed for ten or so seconds, then pops back into place -- I never
do get into properties...
Take your right pages and put them in the printer tray so the reverse
side is printed and repeat the above only substitute left for right.
Yeah, I understand. This is exactly what I do when I boot to W98.
