How to print a chart??

Post by openofficeuser321 »

In MicrosoftExcel 2003, I know you have an option to make a chart in a seperate window. In "Calc" when I go to make a chart, it puts it right with all my input information and all the cells. Also, when I print it, my chart gets cut off and I get all the cells with it. How can I print JUST MY CHART?? And make my chart seperate than all my other cells?? Thanks!

Calc knows one type of sheet. There are no chart-sheets. The only way I can think of:
Put your chart on a separate sheet.
Turn on Menu:View>Print page preview.
Set up the page orientation and other stuff.
Drag your chart into the right position and size to fit one page.

Here's the feature request: Issue 6010: Add ablility to Print/Preview OLE indepent - e.g. print chart without spreadsheet. It's targeted for OOo 3.0 (Fall 2008).

As a workaround, in addition to the ones mentioned by Villeroy, you can either
1) Select the cells that enclose your chart
2) File > Print; Print range = Selection; OK

Or, copy/paste the chart into a new Writer document, scale the chart as you like and print.
