I used to print a lot of booklets, that's a simple job to do in OOO,
just
create the booklet in A5 size, select the printer, go to printer
properties,
select paper size to A4 and orientation to "Landscape", go to
advanced print
settings and click "brochure".
I was a bit surprised this option is 'removed' from SuSE native OOO
package,
the option "Orientation" simply isn't there, the OOO on Gentoo and
Windows
have 5 options on "Printer Properties" and OOO on SuSE there is 4
option.
What's the best solution for me now? Shall I install OOO from
openoffice.org
(the official RPM)?
Dang! You are right! I couldn't for the life of me understand where that
function had gone!

Sometimes I get the impression that the SUSE developers think they
know what we want, better than we do.
portion that yuare looking for is at format->page. There you can select
the paper and orientation. Sometimes, you need to go to the page
preview, to set the page correctly. I had to fiddle with this for awhile.
I believe they changed this in pre-beta 2.0 version of OOO. I know that
the windows version works similiar to the way you describe.
There is often a difference in PAGE SIZE and PAPER size in most popular
wordprocessor and a lot of publication tools, including MS Word. And in
most cases, paper size is set only when the user select to print, because
it doesn't make a lot of sense to set paper size as pare of information of
document itself. This is why OOO put paper size selection on the Print
dialogue. The page size set in the print-preview also do not have effect
when printing in booklet / brochure mode (in the Advancd Print Options).
The OOO on Gentoo and Windows both is in the way I described, as well as
most word processors. Besides, the pre-beta 2.0 OOO on Gentoo is also the
way I described, as well as pre-beta offical Windows installation.
