Linda, et all... The subject of page breaks, headers and footers, etc is different in Calc than in Writer. Whereas text documents are generally considered "print" documents (hence the term WYSIWYG), spreadsheets are not. They can exist and function completely as a digital spreadsheet without ever being paginated or otherwise setup for printing. However, using a spreadsheet for invoices, estimates of work to be performed or other office documents (like time sheets) necessitates printing. Inserting page breaks within a spreadsheet is different then same task within a text document. There are some folks who believe each sheet is a different page and are stunned when they print... Besides, OOo v2 has enhanced the headers and footer capability in Calc, so it would seem to be a major point to mention. Maybe a separate chapter on "Page" formatting would work, but I still opt for putting it in the Printing chapter. > I will look over the outline in just a bit.
