Hello everyone!
Using OO 2.0 beta calc I have table of 5 columns and 5 rows. I want them to be
fitted on the first page. So I enable the page-break-preview and set the
frame to include all cells I want to have on page 1. I print the document and
everything is fine.
I close and re-open the document to resize the columns and rows, i.e. make
them smaller. I switch to the page-break-preview and the frame still tells me
that the same cells as before will be fitted on the first page. I print the
page and get a very tiny table and lots of free space.
Why? Did I not tell OO to fit the frame on the first page, as I did in the
first step?
I investigated the cause and found that the first time you use the
page-break-preview to set the page-breaks, OO automatically determines a
scaling factor, e.g. 50%. This factor is set in Format > Page. However, I
never told OO to set a fixed scaling rate, but to fit the columns/rows on the
first page. So I'd expect it to either not use the scaling-factor field
because that one is a static value, or change the value automatically if I
change the page breaks, or resize the columns. Yet OO keeps those 50% no
matter what you change in terms of page-breaks, or row/column widths, as if I
told it to always scale to 50%.
I consider this a bug, what do you people think?

Seems like it. All of the printing and scaling option are handled in the
Sheet format area. Select *Format > Page > Sheet*. Which ever of the
options in the drop down list is active when you close the window is the
one that Calc will honor.
Are you sure you had the option you wanted to work active in the drop
down box? If you did, then this would be an error. You should file an
issue with detailed, reproducible steps.
Borrowed from G. Roderick Singleton:
The best way to have problems such as this evaluated is to file an
issue. If you haven't already registered, do the following:
Go to <www.openoffice.org> click the Register link at the top right of
of the page. Fill in your information and reply to the confirmation
email that will be sent to the address you provided. Once you have
confirmed, go to <www.openoffice.org> again and click on the "Bugs &
Issues" link in the General links box.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file
the issue to ensure reproducibility with your examples.
