Description statman 2004-01-28 19:35:12 UTC

I have a user who wants to print only selected collumns in a spreadsheet without
having to do the kludgy workaround of hiding collumns she doesn't want to see. 

I selected individual collumns by holding down CTRL and left-clicking to select
individual collumns. In the spreadsheet she wants to print collumns A, B, S, BE,
BF, BG, BH, and BI.

I did a test print selecting only collumns A and B - only A and B printed.

I then tested printing only collumns A, B, and D - collumns A, B, C, and D
printed. Oops - looks like everything between the starting point and ending
point printed even though collumn C wasn't selected.

I tested again with only collumns A, B, S, BE, BF, BG, BH, and BI - everything
from collumn A to collumn BI printed on the page.

It's like it thinks I'm holding down shift and selecting a line of collumns
instead of CTRL and picking individual collumns.

I'm using OOO 1.1.0 - both the Linux version (apt-get'd from Debian on a system
running Debian 3.0 testing) and the Windows version (also 1.1.0 I think) behaves
the same way.

Hi Bettina,

the guys from the other site of the pool do it on two pages if you select two
non adjacent areas. We should do it in the same way. Something for MS-Interop PCD ?

Summary: Unable to select different collumns to print.
Considered for OO.o later.

The problem with Frank's comment is the fact that users such as mine wish to do
this to condense a few selected collumns into on page. 

This is a better solution than having to hide, in the case of the user I'm
assisting, collumns C through R, and T through BD. 

If users are going to be able to select individual collumns that are not
consecutive, then it is reasonable for them to expect that they can all be
displayed on the same page if that is how they have the page set up.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
