Pamphlet printing

Pamphlet printing allows a document to be printed with two pages side by side on a single sheet of paper. Folding the sheet of paper in half between the two pages creates a pamphlet, or a booklet if several pages are folded together. For example, the pages of a seven page document will be printed as:

When Pamphlet is chosen in the Print Options dialogue, EasiWriter splits the current paper vertically into left and right halves and treats these as individual left and right hand pages within the document. For example, they can have their own headers and footers, and margins can be set (reflected if required).

  1. Choose Print Options... from the Misc menu.
  2. Select Pamphlet (2 pages/sheet).
    If necessary EasiWriter will automatically adjust the scale of the document to fit the paper.
  3. Click Update to confirm the choice.
