formatting
Hi In an effort to create a document that can be printed in landscape as an 8.5 x 5.5 folding book, I have been struggling with the page set up. Top and bottom margins are set at .59 Left and right margins set at 2.99 These don't seem to be working properly and I just can't figure it out. It works OK if I don't use two columns but is not perfect and doubles the amount of paper I need. When I use two columns, my preference, it's a a nightmare. Have looked at the forum but issue not addressed. Help. Nicholas

Forget about using columns. Set your page size to 8.5 x 5.5 inches. Set
margins as you think appropriate ("nice") for such a page size. Then use /File
/Print : Page Layout tab to either print Brochure (if you are going to fold the
printout) or 2 pages to a printer sheet. In /File /Print : Properties make
sure your printer is set to "Letter", and Horizontal.
I suggest playing with a small test file of at least 8 pages until you become
familiar with this.

Only partially useful. If John is not aware how he subscribed and how to remove himself, he needs a bit more direction. https://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#:~:text=To%20unsubscribe%20from%20the%20mailing,e%2Dmail%20you%20are%20unsubscribed. I believe that it says that John can send an email as follows: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org On Friday, December 11, 2020 13:36 EST, Wade Smart wrote: Only you can do it.
