Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 11336
Printing a sheet on a specified number of pages (e.g. by shrinking) is much more difficult than it is in Excel.

In OpenOffice 1.0.2 setting a limited print area to print from is difficult to do (unintuitive). By this I mean just print a section of a spreadsheet which is nrmally more than 1 page long by 1 page wide. For example in Excel this is very simple to do (It has an option to fit(shrink) a specified sheet print area (set by menu option) onto a specific page range (1 by 1 etc). This something I have found very useful in Excel and I found it difficult to emulate in OpenOffice. I seem to be able to print a selection OR to specify to fit to 1 by 1 page but I can't figure out how to do both at once. Not from the UI anyway.
Hi Bettina, one4you
Summary: Ability to print a selection, where printing is specified to fit to 1 page long by 1 page wide.
enhanced summary, set keywords and reassigned issue according to RFE process Unfortunately this functionality is still located in different dialog (not the Print dialog like in Excel), OpenOffice.org 2.0 will have more printing options under "Format - Page Format - Sheet". Current milestone/snapshot builds already include this functionality.
