Changing the page layout in Open Office

[Omega_Glory]

I’m using Open Office and viewing my document in a print layout. All the pages were arranged vertically, until I accidentally pressed some combination of keys with my elbow. Now the pages are arranged in sort of a square. Pages 2 and 3 are side by side, in a landscape format. What did I do, and how do I fix it? I went to the Styles and Formatting tab and set things to default, and I tried ctrl + V.

ETA: It suddenly fixed itself. But knowing what I pressed and how to fix it in the future would be helpful.

Does this

) Next to the zoom slider in the status bar (bottom of the OOo window), there are switches to get a normal view, 2 pages view and 2 pages book view.

seem likely to be involved? From here.

Else, Page Preview does the 2 pages side by side thing by default, looks like :

To use Page Preview:

1. Click File > Page Preview, or click the Page Preview button .
   The Writer window changes to display the current page and the following page, and shows the Page Preview toolbar (Figure 147) in place of the Formatting toolbar.
2. Click the Book Preview icon to display left and right pages in their correct orientation.
   Figure 147. Page Preview toolbar

The “Page Preview” button icon didn’t copy. It looks like a search button except the magnifying glass is over the top right corner of a blank sheet of paper.

I think “CTRL + V” is just a shortcut for Paste. Comes from the Unix move file command.

Your first suggestion was correct. Thanks! I did searches for changing the layout and didn’t find anything.

Whoops, yes, I’ve been pressing ctrl + V so often that I messed up. I meant ctrl + z.
