Seeking "French Fold" template

[bernoulli2k]

I am looking for a template for Writer that will produce a french fold greeting card, that is, 4 panels printed on one side of 8.5 x 11 inch paper, such that it can be folded twice, resulting in 4 pages.
I would appreciate knowing if this exists, and where to download it.
Thanks in advance...

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Have you checked the extension page? See the sticky of this forum section: Templates: a dedicated repository in the OOo web site.

Thanks to add '[Solved]' at beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

Coreldraw has a French fold template when printing, but that is not of use here. When I used the CorelDraw version, I had to use four pages, each A6 in size (I was working to A4 paper). This would mean you should have 4 pages 5.5 x 4.25 inches if working to US Letter. When you have finished your text you will need to invert two of these, then print 4 pages up on a single sheet. A half hour's experimentation will see you sorted as to order and inverting.

I don't think this is practical in Writer because Writer can't invert and re-order the pages the way you need. You would have to use graphic text boxes for the two upside-down pages, at which point I can't see that Writer is helping much at all. You might as well use OOo Draw.

Ideally, you would create the document with normal pages, then post-process the output to re-order and rotate them for printing, but I can't recommend anything for doing that. Maybe someone else can make a suggestion.
