Re: [libreoffice-users] Two in One Page

I loaded a large multi page A4 document [hard to find since I use 
Letter] in Writer.
I then did the following:
File > Print > Page Layout
This should show you the option to print several pages on one sheet 
face.  Plus you have the option to place a border around each page on 
the sheet.

I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and 3.4.3
I tried this with the following printers:
Epson Artisan 810, HP Color Laserjet 2600n, HP PSC 1410, and CUPS-PDF.

The document had the page numbers set up for the page number to be on 
the left side for even page numbers and on the right side for odd page 
numbers.  The actual way it is done is not clear to me, but if you go to 
the footer of the first even page and do Format > Page I see the page 
layout is set to left only and if you do the same for an odd page, you 
get a right only shown in the page layout.

As I said, this was a large A4 document already created, and I just 
looked at the document's setting and tested a printing of several pages.
