One sheet can cover multiple pages. I don't know if you can squeeze multiple sheets onto a single page. By default, Calc creates new spreadsheets with three *sheets*. The Print Preview function first shows you the first page of the sheet you are currently working on (as identified by the labelled tabs at the bottom of the screen). At the left end of the toolbar are buttons for "Next Page" and "Previous Page". These buttons are *correctly* labelled. They move the preview from page to page, crossing sheet boundaries as necessary. Page numbering is continuous; it does *not* start at 1 for each sheet (I don't know if that is changeable). If you want to print only the selected sheet, go to File>Print>Options and check the box labelled "Print only selected sheets". If you want to print only the selected sheet by default, go to Tools>Options>OpenOffice.org Calc>Print>Options and check the box labelled "Print only selected sheets". This is "sticky" on my installation (2.0.3 on Win XP Pro/SP2). Admittedly, if you have sheets with multiple pages then there is no way I can find, other than via Print Preview, of knowing which *page* you are on. This seems to me to be a defect but I'm not sure how best it could be fixed. Perhaps someone could cheat and see how E***l does it. I can't as I don't have it installed anywhere.
