I have a problem printing Microsoft Word documents created before I began using OpenOffice, which have tables or labels. Nothing inside the tables or labels prints, or shows on the page preview. I can correct or modify the text inside the table, but it will still not show on the page preview or print. I am a neophyte, so not very technically-minded.
OpenOffice Writer allows you to control the printing of tables globally. Go to Tools | Options... | OpenOffice.org Writer | Print | Contents, and tick the Tables box. Does that help? As you will see, there are other items that can be similarly controlled.
I'm not sure what you mean by labels here - perhaps what Writer calls notes? If so, printing these can also be controlled under "Notes" at the same place. You can arrange not to print them, to print only them, or to collect them at the end of each page or of the entire document. But I notice (in my version 3.1.1) that Page Preview does not appear to show notes come what may: you need actually to print the document to see what happens. This is a situation in which it is handy to have a virtual PDF printer installed (free ones are available), since you can do a test print to that and see how any actual printout will appear - without wasting paper or toner. (Note that Writer's Export as PDF... function does not help here.)
I trust this helps. Brian Barker -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help
