Hi :) Sorry to ask but which OS or platform are you using? Windows, Gnu or some other? I'm not sure if it is relevant but which version of LibreOffice? The "Help" menu under "About" usually gives that sort of information. Also have you tried "print to file" instead of selecting a printer - and

Make a liar outta me, willya? Mere hours after I sent a message to this list saying "I'm not sure I've *ever* had a LibreOffice document (Writer or Calc) fail on me", I ran into one. It's a Writer document; the whole thing is a three-column table with somewhat different information in each cell.

Hi :) It 'shouldn't do' but what should happen and what actually happens are often at least 2 different things. In this case it's very unlikely to go wrong though. The main thing is to have a duplicate 'copy' in ODF format as a back-up in case the file does go wonky. Ideally either emailed to
