Print Orientation (Calc)

users
#1

When I set the print orientation for Sheet 1 to Landscape the print orentation for Sheet 2 is
also changed even though the data on Sheet 2 is better printed with orientation = Portrait.

What is the rationale for this behavior? Is there a preference setting that unlinks the sheets
with regard to print orientation?

Orientation is a property of page styles. When you change the orientation of your first sheet, you are actually changing the orientation of its page style and therefore of all sheets with the same page style.

Is there a preference setting that unlinks the sheets with regard to print orientation?

Give them different page styles:
o Go to Format | Styles and Formatting ... (or click the Styles and Formatting icon in the Formatting toolbar or press F11).
o Click Page Styles in its toolbar.
o Click New Style from Selection.
o Give your new style a name.
o Right-click the new name and select Modify... .
o Adjust the style properties as desired - presumably including setting Landscape on the Page tab.
o Bring each sheet to the front in turn and double-click the appropriate style to apply it.

I trust this helps.

Hi :slight_smile:
Don't you have to set "page styles" to be different? I'm not sure how tbh
but maybe in the styles chapter of the Writers Guide

I'm having a similar problem and I followed the below directions, which worked fine. However, I made a mistake in naming and I can't find a way to either rename the style, or delete it.

Any help?

LibreOffice 4.2.7.2 420m0(Build:2)
ubuntu 14.04

Thank you in advance.

o Go to Format | Styles and Formatting ... (or click the Styles and Formatting icon in the Formatting toolbar, or press F11).
o Click Page Styles in its toolbar.
o Right-click the rogue style name in the list.
o Either, to delete the style, select Delete...,
o Or, to rename the style, select Modify..., select the Organiser tab, and Modify the style's name in the Name box.

I trust this helps.
