Description dtwist 2005-09-21 04:45:06 UTC 
Request: A feature to allow flowing speadsheet contents to multiple columns per
page. Interface could be recycled from the Writer's "Format>Page: Columns" Tab.
I'd think "Format>Page..." would be the most logical place to add it. (See
mockup at URL)

Reasoning: Let's say I have a large amount of data, but a small number of
columns. To save paper and make scanning data easier, it's nice to have a
"multi-column" layout of the data on a single page. Currently, this can only be
done manually and cumbersomely:

Hi,

I'm sorry, but this is something for a wordprocessor but not for a spreadsheet.
To get data to a defined number of pages we have Format-Page-Sheet-Scaling mode
with it's possibilitys.

To squeeze a column and row based application into another column based page
style sounds weird to me. SO IMO this should be declined.

Nevertheless it's not my decission, re-assigned to requirements.
