But you are missing the point of the original question, in fact. What
LibreOffice calls a "brochure" (and what was being asked about) is not
a single sheet with columns that can be folded into three (interesting
though that is), but a way of preparing a continuous document with
full pages half the size of the printed paper and then printing them
two pages to a side and - this is the clever bit - having the page
images automatically ordered so that the whole can be folded into a
booklet.
If the document has eight pages, for example, printing it as a
brochure will print pages 8 and 1 on one side of one sheet and pages 2
and 7 on the back. A second sheet has pages 6 and 3 on the front and 4
and 5 on the back. Fold these together (and possibly staple them along
the fold) and you have a booklet with pages 1 to 8 in order. Try doing
that manually - and then try adjusting the result to print three pages
when you find you need a ninth page!

Sorry, I lost/erased/etc. the original postings before I really read
this thread. Been offline for a week or so and a lot of posts/threads
got erased [an "oops" happened when dealing with the folder options] due
to the number of unread messages in the User List message folder.
The "brochure" wording is a "booklet" to my printing background. So I
will have to look into that option more carefully.
The borderless paper options still is valid to force the printer not to
add their own margins/borders when you set your margins/borders to
something less than the printer likes. I use it all the time when I
need the whole page [side to side, top to bottom] to have printed text
or foreground/background images very close to the edges of the paper, or
need to use a much smaller margin than the printer "likes or requires"
when printing out standard letter or A4 sheets.
