Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 12111
Printing options very limited
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:32:46 UTC
Using OOo1.0.2. This is logged on the Presentation section but applies equally to the Draw section, and perhaps to all the rest as well. The options for printing are truly limited, and very poor in Draw and Impress. As far back as 1986, WP offered the ability to print front to back or back to front; odd, even, or (default) all pages; the ability to state EXACTLY which pages were desired such as 12 - meaning starting at 12 and going to the end; 1-6 meaning print only pages 1,2,3,4,5,and 6; 1,3,7,11,20 meaning print only those pages; and any combination of these instruction in the print pages box. 1-12 with odd checked would allow for printing just the odd pages, then you cound flip the paper and check even instead of odd and print those pages on the back of the first 6. This capabality is NOT available in Draw or Impress, and this combination of choices is NOT available at all in the suite. It would be OH SO NICE to have this decade old capability available in OpenOffice. (This is also the default in Adobe Acrobat). Thanks, dave johanson
