Hi Jack, It's definitely possible and I've done it. Unfortunately, I'm at work on my Solaris machine in my office and I've done StarOffice spreadsheets mostly at home. I'll try to remember to check when I get home. Ahh -- I remembered that I *did* install StarOffice for Solaris. Just tried it and it didn't work for me the first time, setting up the "orientation" property for the printer. The "Help" gave me a clue (normally "Help" things in GUI tools are pretty useless -- particularly M$ style help). OK ... ready for the secret?... You have to change **BOTH** the printer properties and the "Format" for the spreadsheet. In the normal spreadsheet view do Format->Page->Page and then select the "Landscape" radio button. If you've also set the printer to landscape mode, this should do it for you. Not the most intuitive thing in the world, but... By the way, there's a help/mailing list thing somewhere at Sun for StarOffice. You should find it if you poke around. I was able to get help with a problem exporting StarOffice to Excel (Some formulas didn't work, though they looked correct. The fix was do do a global replace of "=" with "=" in all the formulas after importing to Excel -- weird, but it worked). pete > Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2000 09:00:23 -0500 (EST) > From: jack wallen jr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: redhat list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: staroffice <new> > > i'm sorry for posting this on the red hat list but it's something that's > been plagueing me for some time now. > > how do you get star office to print spreadsheets in landscape? i've done > everything i can think of but it simply doesn't work. is it even > possible? > > Jack Wallen, Jr. -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
