Thank you. That worked, but i also needed a solution to tilt that object 90
degress so that the object can be printed on the paper. Is there a way to do
it.
Writer drawing and OLE Object can't be rotated.
However there are possible workarounds:
- for Charts you can switch the the chart type between bar and column
for example
- for tables you need to set the page layout to landscape (this can be
done for Charts as well), of course this will affect the text in Writer
as well
And there is always a rather broken way to achieve this:
Open Draw and 'paste special' the chart/table in question while
selecting 'GDI metafile' following that open the 'Position and Size'
dialog and here Draw will now present you with a 'Rotation' tab page
where you can do what you want. After you are done you can select the
object from Draw and paste it into Writer.
WARNING!!: This kind of approach has one big drawback when you paste the
object as GDI metafile into Draw it ceases to be a chart or table and
instead becomes a drawing object. That especially means it will no
longer be updated if the original cells it was referring to get updated.
@Ingrid: Any other idea? Maybe I have missed a point on Chart objects.
In case of 3D charts one better uses real charts and not GDI metafiles.
The metafiles have a big drawback in case of 3D, as the 3D objects are
stored as resolution dependent bitmaps within the metafile. This then
almost always looks ugly when printed. Regarding the data connection,
there is no difference between the metafile and a pasted chart, as the
data connection is also lost, when a normal chart is pasted from calc to
writer.
All in all I would choose landscape page layout here.
Kind regards,
Ingrid
