Windows 10: OpenOffice - Matching printed page to paper size of booklet

I use a Brother 8860DN printer to print booklets from OpenOffice on 8.5 X 11 letter-size paper. Each 8.5 X 11 sheet of paper contains 4 OpenOffice Impress note pages -- 2 printed pages on each side of a sheet of paper. Each printed page goes on a 8.5" high by 5.5" wide section of paper.

My problem is that the printed note pages are too short to cover the whole 8.5 inches vertical height of paper. When I specify it, a frame-line prints around each page with a 0.25 inches margin (correctly.) But the vertical distance between the OpenOffice header and footer is only 6.25 inches as printed -- leaving the printed page almost 2 inches too short compared to the paper it is printed on.

By changing the font size I can change the size of the page contents, but the distance between header and footer doesn't change.
How can I lengthen the header-to-footer distance so the notes will make use of the whole vertical height?

Windows 10 (x64)
OpenOffice Version: 4.1.6
or LibreOffice Version: 6.1.5.2

Microsoft Print to PDF - custom paper sizes possible?

Hi,

We suggest that you try to set the paper size of the exact document first. You can create a custom page size before you proceed with
Microsoft Print to PDF, it should auto-detect the paper size of the document.

To set the paper size in Microsoft Office:

• Click on the Page Layout/Page Design tab.
• Click on Size, and then in the options available, click on
  More Paper Sizes...
• Click on the drop-down arrow and scroll down to the last option which is
  Custom size. You will be able to customize your preferred paper size.
• Once done, click on OK, and then proceed with Microsoft Print to PDF.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Booklet Printing Incorrectly

I am trying to print a booklet and it keeps printing page 14 on the back of page 1.

I have previously printed this booklet on a Canon IP4850 with no problem.

That printer died so I bought a Canon IP7200 and now I have a problem!

I am of course printing one side then turning the paper over

Thanks

Deb

 

On photo print paper size. I would like to have a 11X17 print paper size.Would it be possible to add a user defined section on paper size?

Yes, I have that shown. But when I go to paper size on my Epson WF-7610 I have 13 paper sizes shown. None have a 11X17. I can get legal size for the largest paper. I would like to print 11X17 either as listed or user defined for me to size.
