Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 29887
non-printing flag for drawing objects not supported/imported from MSO
Last modified: 2008-05-17 23:40:02 UTC
MS Office has a checkbox in drawing objects' (lines, circles etc.) properties for choosing whether the object will be printed or not. This seems to not be supported in OOo - i.e., the objects are always printed. I can provide a sample document that demonstrates the problem. I've encountered this in an XLS spreadsheet that was prepared for easy data entry by marking the relevant cells with red circles. These circles were set to display on screen but not print so the user didn't need to care about them. Unfortunately, when printed from OOo, the circles are there. I assume that this issue will also be present in Word/Writer and anywhere else the drawing objects are used.
Hi Bettina, an enhancement for the drawing layer. Frank PS Currently you can achieve the non printing of objects by selecting the appropriate settings under Format Page Sheet section Print.
