Sorry, I've missed this thread, but aren't you supposed to go to Format, Page, Landscape?
If I'm missing something, I apologize for the noise.

Well "supposed to" is the key phrase. Anyone who has used MS Word know the you go to File->Printer Setup to do this also. Sure enough in Openoffice-write you can go to File-> Printer Setup and under Properties you find that you can choose Portrait and Landscape as options but it does not work. Therefore the bugzilla. -- ======================================================================= Its name is Public Opinion. It is held in reverence. It settles everything.

---- I haven't seen it stated yet but there are print options that don't consider page options and so I would think that it is a distinct advantage to have the 'Format => Page' options separate from the 'Print => Properties'
For example...
If you want to print 4 page up on a single sheet of paper...you might choose US Letter size in Landscape mode in Format => Page but choose to print 4 of those per page in Landscape mode on Ledger size paper.

In order to understand each other we have to be talking about the same thing. I was discussing File->Printer Setup -> Properties and you are discussing File->Print->Properties.
Nothing would stop you from choosing Landscape under either of these Properties tabs. Then you could go to File->Print-> Page Setup and choose 4 pages per page. Why should you have to go to Format-> Page at all?

to have anything to do with the current document formatting whatsoever. Are you suggesting that this shouldn't be called Printer Setup but rather Document Setup and thus duplicative of Format => Page?
Nothing you are going to say is going to change the fact that document properties and printer properties are in the case of OpenOffice.org, two entirely separate things. I appreciate that not all programs offer the distinction but I would think that it inures to the flexibility of openoffice.org and would prefer not to dumb it down because someone doesn't get it.
