4 column word type document in landscape format, I designed this format so I could write the most efficient (lyrics to songs) per page but unfortunately when I come to print it out the printer turns it back to 3 column portrait is this the printer or my computer or open office?
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. Brian Barker --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
