--- Comment #3 from ady <[email protected]> --- The whole set of confusions regarding changing between portrait and landscape in Calc (and there are a variety of them) is all related to how (not) intuitive the necessary actions are. Page orientation in Calc is related to (or influences): * repeating items (e.g. header/footer, but also either rows or columns) * print preview * actual physical printing * exporting to other file formats (e.g. pdf, or xlsx) In Calc, changing the page orientation depends on changing (or creating) the page _style_ (sometimes on _each_ worksheet). Users of other spreadsheet tools that have a different workflow (e.g. don't rely on page styles for a simple page orientation change) are naturally having difficulties in Calc with such trivial action such as modifying page orientation on worksheets. Such users are trying to follow a commonly used workflow, not only used on other spreadsheet tools but also in many other types of software. For Calc users to be able to know how to do it "correctly" in Calc, they first have to be aware of the existence of "Page Styles", and then understand and learn what actions are dependent on "Page Styles" (and on each area of Calc that mentions something about page orientation, including also OS' Printer settings). This learning curve for Calc is not intuitive, nor simple. I guess this is not limited only to this report, but rather to anything in LibreOffice dependent on Style (page, cell format, paragraph, and so on). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
