Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 58417
Zoom level "optimal" should regard content borders instead of page margins
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:43:26 UTC
Hello, I have a table in a document that exceeds the margins set in the page. When viewing this table with the zoom level in the toolbar set to "optimal", I would expect OOo to not simply regard the left/right page margins as the "borders" of the document, but to extend the viewable area so that the whole table can be seen. However, this does not happen - OOo simply uses the page margins to calculate the viewable area, and so you cannot see the whole document. (Is this a case of "bug-for-bug" compatability with MS Word, perhaps? MS Word 2000 does the same thing and it annoys the hell out of me. I don't know about MS Word XP or 2003.) See attached screenshot. Jens
Created attachment 31789 [details] screenshot of bad behaviour (right end of table is not visible)
it is not "bug-for-bug", it is "it's a feature, not a bug". I re-type your issue, reassign it to requirements and set the status to new, according to http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/workflowcharts/RFE_issues_by_QA.sxd
