Hello again,
so, one thing is always sure, when Regina writes here: lots of the
misunderstandings I have about the inner workings of the product are
resolved. Thanks!
;)
But still...
it would be
a useful feature for the PDF export dialogue
I didn't ask for that. I just noted that the page preview is not limited
to printing and may have other uses.
Anyway, if it is easy to export a PDF over and over again, I think it is
better to handle the dirty details before.
The most useful thing about the Page Preview indeed seems to be
modifying margins. But that is only useful for Calc users, since in
every other application it is trivial to turn on rulers in the main
view/rulers are by default turned on in the main view. For the
uninitiated, it might also be somewhat counterintuitive to set the
page margins in the Page/Print Preview.
It is not only counter-intuitive (BTW, there's not such thing as
intuition when it comes to IT), it is *difficult* and highly imprecise.
I have trained 5 groups to Calc (entry-level, 35 people in all) during
the last two weeks and all agreed that setting margins is more precise
with the Format/Page dialog and that the page preview is quite
unpracticable to this regard.
