[Solved] Printing a5 document 2 per A4 page in 4.0.1

Post by WendyandDarryl »

We cannot print 2 A5 pages on A4 in landscape in 4.0.1. Also the radio buttons behavoir appears incorrect on page set up in properties. Try portrait and landscape. Print a5 2 per A4 page in landsacpe mode works on version 3 but not version 4.0.1, at least not found an obvious combination yet that works! Any input greatfully received. We are expereienced OO users. Regards

/File /Print : Properties button, set Landscape orientation. Then OK and select Page Layout tab, 2 pages per sheet

I've been doing this all morning.

File -> Print -> Properties -> Page set up -> change A5 to A4 and click radio button landscape -> OK
Page Layout Tab -> 2 per sheet

Then OK. Thanks Rory, extra fast response really appriciated it. Not too much paper and ink wasted.

Note that depending on printer and on operating system there may be variations in layout of Print dialogs.
