Something else. I clicked on Format -> 'Fit object to paper format',
then 'letter' in paper format went from blue to gray. After closing the
menu, I reclicked on it and the box was unchecked, and the 'letter'
option was again blue. No mention of anything strange in Help.

I am having another, yet related, problem. The drawing is larger than
8.5" x 11". When I display it on the screen, there is a grayed
portrait double line box, which covers the same area that is printed,
on the screen. I thought that was the "page pane". Not so, turning
it on/off in the View menu has no effect. Looking up 'page pane' in
Help sends me to a different help location. I cannot 'edit/change'
this grayed box.
Q: How do I make the entire drawing print using the 'fit to printable
page' option. I have tried printing to paper and, using 'print to
file', creating a pdf. All that is printed is the area inside this
grayed box.

plan, using LO Draw with a scale of 1/8" = 1'. Now we want to take
it to Kinko's (Fed Ex) and have it printed for about $4.00 per page.
Problem is they cannot print it. A few questions:
1) What is the standard file format (description and file type)
for professional drafting?
2) Does LO Draw support this format?
3) If not, is there a work around?
4) Can I print multiple parts of the drawing onto 8.5" x 11.0"
paper, then tape them together for a preliminary draft? (I know I
can do the taping part, its the printing that is an issue :) )?
5) And , finally, Does the PDF format fit into this issue at all?
