Re: Difficulty to control printing of a Calc file
Hi VinceB, use the menu item /View/Page Break Preview/ In this view you can easily drag the blue lines displayed on the page where you want to, eg. if you want to scale the content to one page printouts then drag the right line of the "Page 1" line to the outer right side. Using the right mouse button within this view you can define manual column or row breaks at any positon you want. Or mark the content you want to print and press the right mouse button and select the context menu item "Define Print Range" Afterwards you can leave this "Page Break Preview" by selecting menu item /View/Normal/ All settings are persistent until you close the document. If you save the document this setting is persistent if you close and reopen the document. In menu item /File/Page Preview/ you can use the slider to scale the document to something you want to look it like. If page margins do not fit then you can control these in menu item /Format/Page/ on the tab page "Page". Within this dialog click into one of the fields Left, Right, Top or Bottom. If you now press the PageDown button on your keyboard then the dialog automatically selects the minimum setting for this page margin the operating system configured printer driver supports.

Change Default Format
How in the world do I change the default format for new documents and save it? I hate Times New Roman. What I hate more, is having my ability to set things the way I want them denied me. Thank you. Catherine

There are two solutions for that: o Use File | Page Preview (or the Page Preview button in the Standard toolbar) before actually printing. (You can adjust page formatting from within Page Preview.) o Another way is to install a virtual PDF printer: freeware versions are available. You don't need this for creating PDF copies of your documents, as OpenOffice includes the File | Export as PDF... facility. But having a PDF creation facility masquerading as a printer means that you can use the normal Print function to create a PDF and inspect it before wasting paper and ink or toner. A change of page-breaks also causes a change of scaling, or width, of the printed document. Is that normal? I think the answer is "No - by default". But it can be "Yes" if you have chosen to set Format | Page... | Sheet | Scale | Scaling mode to something other than "Reduce/enlarge printout". With other options there, you will see automatic adjustments as you make other changes. Try "Reduce/enlarge printout" and Scaling factor: 100% if in doubt. Please, someone remind me of which slider control, near top or near bottom of screen, actually controls print-output scaling factor and which controls the screen scale factor. I might be using the incorrect one. I think the scaling mode and factor described above are the only place where the output differs from what you have set up in your actual spreadsheet. The screen scaling - which doesn't affect printout - can be changed in various ways: o Go to View | Zoom... . Experiment with the settings there to produce the effect you prefer. There are also two controls near the right end of the Status Bar, at the bottom of the OpenOffice window. (You may need to toggle this on at View | Status Bar): o The Zoom slider allows you to adjust the zoom factor in alternative ways: + Click the button where you want it to appear, + Drag the button to the appropriate position, + Or click the "-" and "+" buttons as desired to increase or decrease the zoom factor. o Right-click the "Zoom percent" display in the corner and select an option from the context menu. I trust this helps. Brian Barker - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
