On OOo 2.4, I am trying to print only certain columns of a
spreadsheet. For example, the data may be in columns A~H, but I want
only columns A,B,C and F in the print out.
So far I have tried to define ranges and then select that range and
print it. Doesn't quite work right, it just prints all adjacent
columns first, then the next group of adjacent columns, etc. This
method, however, seems to work in OOo 2.3.
I still have 2.3.1 (for Windows XP) and this appears to work
similarly, in fact - not as you need.
I have also tried to select the columns I want printed and choosing
to print the selection. That also doesn't seem to work. It appears
as if OOo 2.4 is ignoring my selections altogether.
Again, I think this is the same with 2.3.1.
So I just ended up deleting the unwanted columns from a copy of the
spreadsheet and then printing the whole spreadsheet -- I was pressed
for time and it had to be done, one way or another. It worked, but
it is not way it is supposed to.
So, what gives? What am I missing here? How do I go about printing
only a selected number of columns in a spreadsheet such that they
appear side by side on the printout?
Your deletion technique was almost there: the solution (workaround?)
is simply to hide the columns you don't need, in fact. Select the
unwanted columns and go to Format | Column > | Hide or right-click
the column header(s) and select Hide from the context menu. After
printing, to resurrect the hidden columns, select a range of columns
spanning the hidden ones and go to Show in the same places as above.
I trust this helps.
