I argue that this step is redundant and should not be necessary. Current sheet should be default print range.
It is bothersome because it is additional non-obvious step and because regular users tend to forget that they defined range and then wonder why the heck it does not print. So that is not good from usability point of view. Even "Print Range" approach has it's problems: define two ranges - one on each sheet. How do you print or page preview data from just one sheet? Or from other sheet that does not have print range defined? Current behavior might good by forcing user into structuring his/her work, but that should optional. So to make my point clear - "Page Preview" should respect "print only current sheet" setting. > -----Original Message----- > From: SandyU [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 5:35 PM > To: users@openoffice.org > Subject: Re: [users] > > I'm using the Format >Print Ranges >Define feature. > > For standard layouts and page sizes, I suppose things could be better. > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > The problem is, though, that the preview does not > necessarily show you what will be printed.
