Within an existing Calc Sheet, I have added an additional sheet; it appears as I would like. But when I do: File > New > Spreadsheet, grid lines appear and the background is an egg-white color. Let's start with that last situation. First, grid lines generally appear in the editing view, but not in printed output (or in Page Preview). Any grid lines you can see in printed output are actually cell borders, set at Format | Cells... | Borders - and you can remove them there. The grid lines in the editing view are normally a help, but you can toggle them off at Tools | Options... | OpenOffice Calc | View | Visual aids | Grid lines. Do you mean that the background of a new spreadsheet is off-white? That sounds as if you are working from a non-standard default template. So the simplest thing to try first is to reset to the original default template. Go to File | Templates > | Organise... . Under Commands, do you see Reset Default Template > | Spreadsheet? If not, this is not your problem or solution. If you do, click that to reset to the original default template as installed with the program. Try this first. But yes: the background colour of cells and sheets will indeed be preserved in a document file, so if your particular spreadsheet has unwanted background colours, you can reset these at Format | Cells... | Background. Note that you can select entire sheets for this purpose using Edit | Select All or Ctrl+A or by clicking the small rectangle at top left, where the column and row headers meet. I trust this helps.

You may be suffering from Microsoftitis. In products such as Microsoft Word, page orientation is a printer setting, but in OpenOffice it is - more sensibly in my estimation - treated as an aspect of the page style, set at Format | Page... | Page | Paper format | Orientation. I'm guessing that you will have set this correctly, as otherwise you would not be seeing your four columns correctly in the editing display. But you still need to tell your printer that you need the document printed in landscape orientation. You do this at File | Printer Settings ... | Properties..., or alternatively on the fly at File | Print... | General | Properties... . I trust this helps.
