[Solved] Difficulty Editing OpenOffice Calc Template Print

Post by Cliff S »

When I open a template to change the height of a row to align the printed template vertically the change made does not appear on the printed document. After unprotecting the sheet and document and entering the password, I find I can change the row height. The change is correctly displayed on the screen. I find that I can restore the protection to the sheet and document. I then re save the template file.
As a check, I reopen the template and find the row height to confirm that the change has been saved.
A check of the expected changed printed template remains identical to the original template print out. How can this be fixed? Tnx

Can you upload (or share) an ODF type sample file here?

The password is 123. In the attached copy I have increased line 1 from .25 to .45 row height.

The Print range is set to $A$23:$L$33 in your sample document. Of course, a changed row height located outside this cell range will not affect the print layout (of the range marked to print).

Instead of changing the row height, you could change the top margin (Format > Page > Page > Margins > Top).
