ramanal is absolutely correct. If I were king of the world, this would be 
considered a DEFECT of Calc. This one issue I hear about over and over, 
usually by MS Excel lovers who snicker at OpenOffice. At my last company, it 
was one of the two biggest reasons for why the bean counters would not support 
OpenOffice. (The other one being the semicolon to separate arguments instead 
of the comma.)

I have to agree that it IS a problem when one has a large, interrelated 
workbook, perhaps with a summary on the first sheet and detail on subsequent 
sheets. Coders often underestimate the importance of formatting and visual 
appeal "as long as it works". But real human beings have to read spreadsheets, 
and they make a lot of decisions based on them. Calculating the right number 
is only part of the equation. 

This issue has been noted many times before since at least 2004, but it keeps 
getting (incorrectly, IMNSHO) assigned as a duplicate of Issue 30522 and then 
closed. That issue is about the UI for the zoom feature, which is NOT what 
ramanal is talking about. I personally don't care how pretty or intuitive the 
UI for the feature is, as long as there is SOME way to do it.

If anybody knows anything about this issue and has thoughts about how to fix, 
please make comments. I personally don't know where to start to fix it. If 
someone who knows would at least make some notes about where the code is for 
zooming and how sheet formats/attributes are stored in the document, a patch 
could be written.
