Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 4698
Allow hard setting of Header/Footers font size in Calc
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:12:27 UTC
When I change the scaling of a page (under page setup) to anything other than 100%, the font size of the header and footer scales with the page scaling. If I take a small page and enlarge it to fit the full page, the header and footer text size should not change.
Hi Falko, another one for you. Frank
Ooops, it seems to be a feature not a bug, so I have to change the Issue type. Frank
Wait a minute, what is wrong with that? Of course if you change the scale of the page (preview) than _everything_ scales.

Wow, I guess you may get some really stupid people submitting issues, but some of us are smarter than you'd care to give us credit for. The comment made when the issue was closed is totally unrelated to the original problem. Here's the original problem as detailed as I can make it: I'm working in spreadsheet. I go to print preview and click on the page format button. I set up a header and/or footer, with a particular font size. Then, I go to the "sheet" tab of this "format page" window and near the bottom are two options - one is "reduce/enlarge" and I can set a %. The other is "fit to N pages". If I change either of these (either making the page larger or smaller or fitting a large document to 1 page) the font size in the header and footer changes. This has absolutely nothing to do with the scale of the page in the preview window. It is physically changing the font size of the printed text to fit onto fewer pages. But when forcing more text onto a page, the header and footer sizes should NOT change. I urge you to actually try it to see what I mean. Make a large spreadsheet and go into page preview. You'll see everything, including the header and footer are nice and legible, and that you get one entire page in your preview window. Now go and change your settings to "fit to 1 page" and you will still see one page in your window, with much smaller text for the main body. But, you will also see that the header and footer sizes have changed, and they should not. Maybe that's a personal opinion not shared by everyone and that's why you chose to do it that way. But it's definitely not something so stupid as changing the scale at which the page is viewed. Oh, and I'm now using version 1.1.0 and the problem still exists in that version. Does it normally take more than a year to look at submitted issues?

What about an option "scale header/footer"? I would like to choose whetever to scale the header/footer when I want to scale a page.
Allow hard setting of Header/Footers font size in Calc For the moment when scaling the to-be-printed spreadsheet to a defined number of pages or a scale in percent headers and footers get scaled., too. Add an option that allows to disable such scaling of headers and footer instead.
