Occasionally, I need to produce a small financial spread sheet, about 8 to 10 normal size columns across, and about 25 to 30 lines down.. I use Open Office for this, and on screen everything is good and looks like it should fit on a Landscape page with ease.... ..
However, when I want to print it out, It splits the columns into two or three separate pages.... even if i "orientate" the printed paper settings to "Landscape".. meaning I have to cut out the "white space" on each page, and stick them together... not very "professional" ! !
anyone got any ideas to solve the problem , please.
Fixed! Go to the fix.

What I would check is that the page layout within OO matches that of your printer settings and also use print preview to see what is expected.

@HairyMcbiker No... there is a large "outer" area as if the columns have been split into ( say 3 cols ) and then printed in the middle of the page... "portrait" version... and similar for "landscape version".
The columns are default size, with the "normal" 00.00 format for the cash entries.
Will try to remember the "fit to page" option ,... next time... ( not doing one now, so dont want to waste paper trying ! ! )

@rongtw Yes, agreed ! ! .. Don`t do much printing anyway... but thanks
@HairyMcbiker Ah... Ok... thanks for the tip.... Can`t remember, but I think it did actually shrink the cell sizes to about print size 10 and was difficult to view... but will dig one out, and see...( using the reverse side if necessary ! ! )

@HairyMcbiker OK... Got it !... there is a "Format Page" on the top toolbar... which can set the layout and that seems to have done the trick.... got it all showing on "Print Preview" as on one page of A4 landscape... so again... Thank you for your help.
Much appreciated.

Hasn't Open Office got a 'Fit to Page' option when first opening 'Print'?..or is this printer dependent. When I go to print stuff that doesn't fit on A4 normally, I can click on Fit to Page option and all I need prints on to 1 A4 page.
My printer is Epson.
Growing old is inevitable...But growing up is optional.
