Further follow-up:
I have tried the pure keyboard method for defining the print ranges and
the repeated rows and columns that I want. I have also tried the "select
and click" technique as described in the OOo Help. They produce
identical results on the Ubuntu version of OOo 3.2.
I guess it could be that nobody else on this list uses print ranges but
I rather doubt that to be true and I doubt that it is all that unusual
to want one or more rows and/or one or more columns to be repeated on
every page.
Is there anyone who has made this work on any recent Linux version of
OOo? If so, I need help finding that version and installing it properly
on my Kubuntu 10.04 system. I would prefer a distribution neutral
version 3.2 of OOo.
Since OOo is open source, I suppose I could compile my own from source
code but I don't want to. I would have to obtain the source code, make
sure I have the needed tools to Make OOo, actually perform the Make, and
finally figure out what files to install where to install them. Then I
would have a version that nobody would trust if I report any future
troubles.
Hi James
As no one else has responded, I have 3.2 (320 M12) on ubuntu 9.04 AMD-64
This is the generic OOo. I am by no means an expert.
Opening a spreadsheet, I found I could select a range by clicking in a
column at the right end of the range and at the bottom row I wanted to
select, then swiping the mouse across to A1, I could then do
Format-Print Ranges-Define and it showed the correct area when I went to
Print Preview.
I could also then Format-Print Ranges-Edit and the cell references were
shown there.
