I will use the Default style for the internal pages of the document, so I will modify the Default style to meet my needs. I want to have a brochure with no numbers on the front or back cover, so I’m going to modify and use the First page style for those pages. For example to have an (approximately) 12 size font in the brochure you’d need to work in 14 font in the document. Working in A4 and having the pages auto-reduced by OOo means you have to compensate by working in a larger than usual font to ensure that the final text is still readable once it has been reduced. The advantage here is that it is What You See Is What You Get – the font sizes you use are the font sizes that will be used in the printed version. At print time OOo will again place them in the appropriate order on landscape A4 sheets but it will not need to reduce them in size, because two A5 sheets are exactly the same size as a sheet of A4. 3.272725 Average: 3.3 (11 votes) Company Brochure Template Brochure Templates Weekly: 0 Monthly: 0 Yearly: 0 3.142855 Average: 3.1 (7 votes) School Brochure Design School Event Brochure Weekly: 0 Monthly: 0 Yearly: 0 0 No votes yet Tri Fold Brochure Marketing Brochure that is folded for easy mailing in an envelope. The second method is to resize the pages within your document to A5 and compose and edit them in that page size. It also juggles them and places them in the appropriate order on landscape A4 sheets so that when printed and collated and stapled they read in the correct order, front cover through to back cover. At print time, OOo will automatically scale everything, reducing your A4 pages so that that two of them will fit on the printed sheet. One way is have the document page size formatted to A4. That is, it will have A5 portrait pages printed two-up on A4 landscape sheets. I’m going to discuss the production of an A5 size brochure. I’m going to talk in terms of metric page sizes because I’m in Europe and it’s what I’m familiar with, but the same principles work equally well for imperial paper. You simply compose your document in the logical page order of 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on, and let OOo worry about putting them in the correct order for printing. The good news is that OOo will take care of the arrangement of the pages for you, automatically. Working out this layout for a large document can be both confusing and time consuming. And on the back of that same sheet you have page 5 on the right and page 32 on the left. In a 36 page brochure for example, the sheet that has page 6 on it (on the left) has page 31 on the right of it. The pages that are printed on the sheets (apart from the center pages) are not consecutive. Yes, it is a collection of landscape sheets, folded and stapled, but look at a single sheet.

You’ll see that it isn’t as straightforward as you might have thought.

Pick up a brochure and flick though it and look at its construction. And in the case of the brochure, four pages are printed on each sheet, two pages per side. A sheet is a sheet of paper, a page is a logical page within your document. In this tutorial, I make a distinction between sheets and pages.
