Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Printint to PocketMod layout

The thing I do not think will be easy is the "up-side-town" text for 5, 
6, F, B section of the page.  The desktop publishing software I use to 
use, would not make it easy at all, but major head-scratching and 
cursing to get a proper flowing text between sections.

I like the Rosary booklet idea.  Some of the ladies in this apartment 
tower would want copies for themselves and their friends.

Creating the 4 column half-height landscaped pages printed one way and 
then the other, is east to do with LibreOffice.  It is as easy as 
printing duplexed printing with a non-duplex laser printer.  One side at 
a time.  It was faster that way even though my b/w laser printer prints 
duplex.
