--- Comment #13 from Nico <i...@sonophon.com> ---
This is in 5.2.3.3 / d54a8868f08a7b39642414cf2c8ef2f228f780cf

I must add that the page orientation of the *content* will be correct in
relation to the chosen page orientation in Format -> Page. But the presentation
of how the page looks like in the print dialogue is always portrait. Also the
exported PDF or the saved PDF through the front dialogue will open always in
Portrait mode, hence needs to be rotated 90 degrees in any PDF-viewer.

Furthermore the PDF rendering through print and Export is significantly
different, usually through the print dialogue it is inferior. This is a
behavior other apps i use do not have.


Opinion:

Regarding the misery of LO quality - the way out of the misery has already
taken place: Users in productive context have left the LO-platform as IT-guys
tell me. And that is for any operating system for simple reasons:

LO is only compatible if all participants stay in the native LO file format
LO file format already is not compatible to full extent to OpenOffice
OpenOffice development has stopped over a year ago for economic reasons

Compatibility with MS Office universe su**s. It leaves the impression of being
just a bad copy of it. Hence it's a no brainer to buy the Office 365 plan
(which is cheap) and being 100% compatible with business inverinmonets, not
mentioning Sharepoint, Exchange and so on…

IMHO the presented concepts of Word- and table-processing are outdated
technology and paradigms. Doing a table in calc to look reasonable printed is a
full house of pain. What a relief are Numbers and Pages in that respect,
although lacking some functionality. And even Ragtime outperforms Office in
most areas because of its fundamental powerful setup.

Let's see what 2017 brings up.
