How do I print text on a horizontal page vs a vertical page?

Post by Kurt Veltman »

I am trying to print some things the long way on a page, like a certificate, as opposed to the normal way, like a book page using Open Office. Anyone know how to do this? I can't imagine it's too hard, I just can't find what I need to do it.

Under file>page setup, choose landscape instead of portrait. Is this what you mean??
If you want some printing hoiz & some vert I wouldn't know how to do it except creating a drawing file & pasting/manipulating in there.

Dave, I think it would be exactly what I am looking for, but Open Office doesn't have "Page Setup". I've tried some other options, like Page Preview, but there what I need isn't there. There has to be a way, it's just a matter of knowing where to find it and what it's called.

In my copy, it's Format, Page, Page, Orientation. Good luck.

Found it. It's under the "Format" tab, under "page".

Next question. I downloaded "Papyrus/Parchment" font, installed it into my fonts folder, and used it yesterday. Now I don't see it in the fonts list when I'm in a document, trying to use it. What happened to it?

Most of my work is on a mac, so be warned...

It may be that the list(s) you have need to be edited for the new fnt to be included for each category (or not). This concept helps users to cope when thousands of fonts are installed.
