Re: [libreoffice-users] How to print a section of a SS
sORRY TO KEEP BEATIN G THIS HORSE. i TRIED THE SELECT AN AREA LAST NIGHT, IT WORKED, BUT iT DID NOT PRINT. Now it won't print. I went to setting in the ubuntu menu and sent a test page-it worked fine(cable was plugged in!. But I can't get anyting to print. I deleted all of the other sheets in this file, tried again, no printing, I also deleted the part that I didn't want to nbe printed so there was no 'selection', still no printing. By no printing, I mean that when I click on "print" in the print section of LO calc, nothing happend. My printer does not respond. No error showed in LO, like I was printing to a non-existant printer. Sorry for the caps earlier - not shouting.

I find it exports to pdf as advertised. If I select and define a range on one of the sheets, just that gets exported but care is needed because different dialogues are involved and they can conflict. There is the defining of print ranges where if you have defined nothing and go to format > print ranges > edit, you will see that by default the print range of each sheet is defined as 'entire sheet' . You can, if you think of it, change that on each sheet to 'none'. If you use export as pdf, the export dialogue again has a range selection possibility : All, Pages, Selection/Selected sheet(s). I doubt whether many people think of checking "format > print ranges > edit" if they have never set a range in the first place.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to print a section of a SS
Hi John. What version of Libreoffice are you on. When you say you want to print a section of a sheet, is that a single section on just one sheet or sections of multiple sheets. For me on a single sheet, sometimes the print range has some history from previous activity. I go Format>Print Ranges>Clear to start. Then I highlight the range to print with the mouse and go Format>Print Ranges>Define. Then I go to File>Print Preview to see how many pages that selected range will print on, and if necessary adjust the top -/+ slider or page format to suit my needs. Steve On 18/10/2021 16:12, John R.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to print a section of a SS
In an "office" program, I made the foolish assumption that people would understand that SS means Spread Sheet. I apologize to those who did not grasp that. The version of Thunderbird is 13.0 (32 bit). Again I assumed that the instructions for a common function, that of printing a section of a SS (see reference above) would not change from version to version. Again, I apologize to those who were confused about the stability of user interfaces. Humbly, John On 10/16/21 8:07 AM, Dan Lewis wrote: On 10/15/21 8:25 PM, John R.
