Description Regina Henschel 2021-02-20 15:29:37 UTC
Created attachment 169923 [details]
Testfile for brochure

Open attached document. It has a page layout "Bookfold" in MS Word. To make the problem better visible, the inner margin is set to 3cm and the outer margin is set to 1cm. The page size in Word is set to DIN A4 landscape. So you will get a DIN A5 brochure when printed. In contrast to LibreOffice, Word builds DIN A5 pages automatically. In the Print View in Word you see the alternating margins for even and odd pages.

The opened file in LibreOffice has correctly DIN A5, as needed for LibreOffice, but the margins are not mirrored on even pages.

[To get the correct printing for a brochure you need not only set "Brochure", but you need to set page size to DIN A4 and orientation to 'landscape' in the 'Printer properties'. Automatic detection does not work initially.]
Comment 1 Dieter 2021-05-01 05:45:08 UTC
I confirm ith with

Version: 7.1.3.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 47f78053abe362b9384784d31a6e56f8511eb1c1
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL

Actual result: Page layout setting in page style dialog is "Right and Left"
Expected result: Page layout setting in page style dialog should be "Mirrored"

Additional information
I also don't understand, why page orientation is landscape (I assume this is taken from the DIN A4 settings in Word)
