I am using Libre Office 3.3.3, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2. I am new to Base and have created a database containing reports derived from queries. When I create a report using legal size with landscape, page one is correct but page two always prints letter-landscape size. I am looking for help with this problem.

Boyd,

I am using Libre Office 3.3.3, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2. I am new

I assume you used the design view for generating the reports not the
wizard?

When I did a test of the wizard, it decided to use US Letter with
Landscape. I assume you want Legal and portrait.

Hi :slight_smile:
The wizards are one of the broken parts of Base.

Hi Boyd,

This is a problem with the default page setting mechanism on multiple
pages generated by the wizards. There is at least one bug report for
this already (can't remember the number right now), as it also affects
printing envelopes.

One possible workaround is to manually reset the page settings of your
document by right mouse button clicking on the second page and resetting
the page format to the one you want instead of the one it assigned
automatically during the wizard process (if that is at all possible with
reports made with the Oracle Report Builder extension).

You may also want to check Ubuntu's default page size setup for that printer.

If it does not match, change it and try again.

Just a suggestion.

Thanks for your reply. I have no option for using design view to create reports, only wizard. I am trying to use legal and landscape. I will redesign my report to confine it to letter/landscape.
Second question. I did not see my original posting of the question. What email address should I use to post questions?

#7

Hi :slight_smile:
You used the right address. Everyone else saw your question. The list is
quite sophisticated enough to avoid sending you messages that you write.
You can see you own post through Nabble. This post should automatically
include a link to your thread in Nabble.

Gmail does not show you the copy of your message that you receive from the list. It just shows only your original sent message, thus avoiding duplicates in your mailbox.

This is a feature/defect of gmail, depending on your point of view.

Does anyone believe this? Fortunately it's rubbish, isn't it?

I have seen lists that allows subscribers to control whether or not they want
to see posts of their own messages or not.

My experience here is that receiving your own messages is the default. That is
how I tell that my messages have reached the list.

Every time I send an email to the list I get a copy sent back to my inbox. I
thought this was supposed to happen.
However this could be because I send though a different mail server than the
one I have registered with this list.
Maybe I should try sending from the same server that I receive through and
see if I still get copies in my inbox..

Hi :slight_smile:
You can always check your headers to see which email address is receiving emails from the list.  Maybe it is just me and  the OP that are not seeing our own emails being sent back to us through the list but i thought it was everyone.

That is correct. It is only gmail users that do not see the copy sent back to them. That is a feature of gmail

#14

I see my own posts all of the time. That is my check that the post made it to
the list. It is rare that I don't see one.

I only have one e-mail address on this list, the same one that I post from and
that I registered on the list with.

I can imagine some arrangements that would have my seeing responses being
special, but I think if that is to be the continuing conversation, it should be
on a different thread, so Base Help can be discussed once again.

Hi Brian, *,

>that you write.

Does anyone believe this? Fortunately it's rubbish, isn't it?

that is a "feature" of gmail and similar web services. (I know for
sure for gmail, but I think yahoo does this too.) Your email provider
"decides" that you don't need to see your original message, since you
wrote it yourself. So you only have the sent message in your
sent-folder to tell you, what you asked the list.

It has nothing to do with "how sophisticated" the list software is.
