# Printing a Brochure

You can print a Writer document as a brochure or a booklet. That is, Writer prints two pages on each side of the paper, so that when you fold the paper, you can read the document as a book.

When you create a document that you want to print as a brochure, use portrait orientation for the pages. Writer applies the brochure layout when you print the document.

To Print a Brochure

1. Choose \<emph\>File - Print\</emph\>.

2. In the \<emph\>Print\</emph\> dialog, click \<emph\>Properties\</emph\>.

3. In the properties dialog for your printer, set the paper orientation to landscape.

If your printer prints duplex, and because brochures always print in landscape mode, you should use the "duplex - short edge" setting in your printer setup dialog.

4. Return to Print dialog, and click the Page Layout tab page.

5. Select Brochure.

6. For a printer that automatically prints on both sides of a page, specify to print right pages and left pages.

7. Click \<emph\>OK\</emph\>.

If you print a document in portrait on a landscape page, two opposing sides in a brochure will be printed next to each other. If you have a printer with double-sided printing capability, then you can create an entire brochure from your document without having to collate the pages later. If you have a printer that only has single-sided printing capability, then you can achieve this effect by first printing out the front pages with the Right\<emph\> pages\</emph\> option marked, then re-inserting the entire paper stack in your printer and printing all the back pages with the \<emph\>Left pages\</emph\> option marked.

If LibreOffice prints the pages in the wrong order, open the \<emph\>Printer Options\</emph\> dialog, select \<emph\>Reversed\</emph\>, and then print the document again.
