Sure it does. You use the Print Preview set it up the way you want it and then print the preview. Been using it since before OOo1.0.0. In the Help, look for the search by index or index search: printing;print preview > When I write, I like to have a narrow column page that is a little > closer to paperback book size.

Currently, my OOo22 has the interface in Spanish. Keep asking if something isn't clear. regards, Richard. > I hope I was clear enough in what I wanted.
