Two problems: 1. After installation Calc defaults to printing of entire workbook. That is easy to solve, but not having it to solve would be better.
2. "Page preview" and "Export to PDF" show all sheets in a workbook regardless of "Print only selected sheets" in Tools\Options\Calc. There is no way for the user to solve this one. Behavior like this explicitely tells users that "What you see is NOT what you get", which decreases user confidence in tool and that is bad thing. > -----Original Message----- > From: SandyU [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 3:33 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [users] > > Greetings. > > On my system (2.0.2), the print preview shows a preview of > each page with the page number at the foot of the preview. > When I open the preview, it opens at the page I have in front of me. > > The print dialogue gives me the option to select the pages to > be printed. > > I regret that I am having difficulty identifying the problem. > > Regards. > > Richard Detwiler wrote: > > I also agree, and in particular, I think that Page Preview > should show > > exactly what will be printed once you hit Print.
