OOo 3.1.1 on Vista Home Premium. Draw doesn't seem to have a Print Preview feature. The only way I can find to get a preview is to select the entire drawing, copy/paste it into a Writer document and use Writer's "Page Preview". What am I missing?
I think the only thing you are missing is that the nature of a drawing is that the editing display is no different from what a page preview would show. You are effectively looking at the page preview as you edit. The one obvious thing you cannot do is to view multiple pages at once - but perhaps in the context of drawings that is not perceived as a drawback.
There are other workarounds than the one you suggest. You can use File | Export as PDF... to create a PDF file (and then examine this in your preferred PDF reader). If you suspect that this does not show what would actually be printed, you can install a PDF converter in the form of a virtual printer. (Free versions are available). You can then use the print dialogue directly to create a PDF file.
I trust this helps. Brian Barker --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
