Openoffice.org Calc Default Settings
I was happily working away on my spreadsheets at work when I ran into a printing problem. There was nothing in the print range. I used print preview and the whole spreadsheet came up on the screen, but when I hit Ctrl+P nothing again. I tried selecting the sheets, tried selecting all in the print options. Again, nothing.
I didn’t have enough time to trouble shoot the danged thing at the time, so I checked it out when I got home (I had recently upgraded both to the 2.3.0 install). It too, failed to print the entire spreadsheet or even the pages that I selected in the print menu. It was time for Google. A quick search using the error “The selected print range or sheet is empty” returned the changes development notes: http://development.openoffice.org/releases/2.3.0.html, which tells me that there are new default settings for Calc. “Print only selected sheets” was my problem. So, it’s off to the Tools->Options->OpenOffice.org Calc->Print dialog box. I unchecked the “Print only selected sheets” box and it’s all good now. The question that I have now is were too many people printing pages that they didn’t want to?
