Also, you will probably get more hits on your question at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, try browsing the archives for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, here is a link for places that you can get answers: http://www.digitaltippingpoint.com/component/option,com_weblinks/catid,76/Itemid,4/ > Also, when I > hit print, I often get the sheet that's on the screen, plus one > or more other sheets that I didn't need. tools > options > spreadsheet > print then check suppress printing of empty sheets and print only selected pages. Those boxes should be checked by default, which I personally consider a bug, and I bet it is going to be fixed in OOo 2.0 > > 2) It would be great if there were more border types to choose > from in a Calc spreadsheet.

Can't help you there, sorry. :-/ Also, here is a link for a list of free tech support that you can get with OOo and other open source software: http://www.digitaltippingpoint.com/component/option,com_weblinks/catid,76/Itemid,4/ > I love OpenOffice.org, and I want it to be used by everyone, and > that is the motivation for my comments.

If you like to talk about open source software, you can tell people about several movies that already exist on the subject: "Revolution OS", and "The Code" and I am producing a film called "The Digital Tipping Point". Our goal is that after folks see the film, they might come to our site and find an open source project that they like, and join that project. > > Thanks for reading, for giving the world OpenOffice, and for > anything you can do! Actually, marketing is a crucial way of helping, so if you like to talk about open source, simply mentioning it to people who might not know about it is certainly helpful. > > Richard Doherty > Engineering & Consulting Resources, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
