------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Jan 9 14:46:31 +0000 2009 ------- With any spreadsheet it is standard practise to print only a portion of a sheet as often spreadsheets can be very large and complex. However when selecting a number of rows and columns it is almost impossible to know how these will print without first previewing. A typical problem is that these selected cells will print over 4 pages instead of 2 (wasting paper and time). Thus it is standard that one should be able to do a Print Preview of the cells selected to Print. This is a standard feature in Excel/Lotus and has been for many years. In Calc, one can Print a Selection but one cannot Print Preview it, so one has to just print and hope. This causes a lot of anger amongst users due to wasted paper, ink and time. The above isn't as much of a concern within Writer as it is fairly obvious how many pages it will print on. But within Calc it is a big problem as Sheets have no defined width and thus selected cells can end up printing on 3 pages horizontally and 2 pages vertically. See this link from the forum: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=310481#310481 Previously bug 89135 was reported and closed as "Resolved." I believe this to be incorrect. I must emphasise as a consultant who has designed many sheets for large numbers of users in big companies, this issue would be a deal-breaker in a migration from MS to OO. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
