Monochrome printing from OOo Calc
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:12:27 UTC
Tip for new feature of OOo Calc: possibility of sheet monochrome printing like in MS Excel (see http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/9053/excelmonochromeprint3qc.png - screenshot from Czech version). How does it work: eventually colour background of cells (or areas) doesn't appear in printed output. That means the text in cells (areas) is much more readable especially on monochrome printers.
So the suggestion is to remove cell backgrounds if the options is set ?
fst: yes (I hope), exact translation of this option from Excel screenshot is "Print - Black and white". I think the best solution for developers is to try it in Excel - isn't it? I hope developers have some Excel installation...
