You are right but is easier to note when something pop up than look at more one thing. The difference is that the software interacts with us when pop up. If we have to look at one more item in the left side of the window and also modify items in the righ side of the window it is just another task. And I think that people only want to print selected items in very rare ocasions when we talk about text documents. If that is the case than use the Print button in the Toolbar this give the desired message, but it only print directly to your default printer.

This has ruined several paper sheets without reason. The reason is that you have made a mistake! Surely this is just something that you discover in learning to use any application or your computer in general? If some letters are selected the function print should warn that only part of the document will be printed due to selection. That's exactly what happens for me, in fact. o If I use the Print File Directly button in the Standard toolbar, I see a message asking "Do you want to print the selection or the entire document?" - with buttons giving the option to choose either. o If I use File | Print... (or Ctrl+P), first the image in the Print dialogue will show just the selected characters and the page count below the image will show the (perhaps much smaller than expected) number of pages that will actually print. In addition, on the General tab, under "Range and copies", the Selection option is helpfully already selected. (After all, why would you select text before printing unless you wanted only that text to be printed?) You can very simply modify that option to "All pages" on the fly, of course. I don't know what you can be doing not to see these effects. I trust this helps.

Hello, In OpenOffice Writer if we accidentally select with mouse some letters and use the print function it will print only the letters selected. This has ruined several paper sheets whitout reason. If some letters are selected the function print should warn that only part of the document will be printed due to selection. Thank you and regards Rui Pinto
