THAnks Karsten -- actually this didn't work in OOo for me either, but I did find a rather clumsy user interface from within OOo that allws multi-page printing -- it's a button on a toolbar in "page preview" view. I wonder if maybe OOo does something funny with its print jobs that screws up the multipage printing somehow... best, mp -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
