[Solved] View → Print layout keeps changing to Web layout

Post by clas »

Solved. Thank you all
Hello.I have a document written in OpenOffice writer. Suddenly, the entire text of the page is not displayed, but only half the width. I can see if I tap View, Print Layout. But if I save, the text returns to the way it was with half the page invisible. What setting should I make?

 Edit: Changed subject, was Layout

Can you upload the file? To do that, click Post Reply and look for the Attachments tab just below the box where you type a response.

What is your Page size in OpenOffice? Use /Format /Page : Page tab and it will be listed in the Format box. Is it Portrait or Landscape (shown by selection in the Orientation setting). If the Format selection is User, what are the dimensions (Width and Height settings)?

The attached file seems to be sent normally. But when I want to attach in email, then it again goes to problem in the left side.

Now when I open the file it shows the whole side. Dont understand how it changes. But still impossible to send the whole document in email.

When in /View /Print mode have you Saved it, and does it then re-open in that mode?

In what format do you save your file?
.odt for text document in ODF?

View > Print Layout and View > Web Layout are toggles. If the document is in Print Layout mode, clicking either View > Print Layout or View > Web Layout will toggle to Web Layout. It sounds like you may have an incorrect right margin setting which is causing the text to be on the left side of the page when in Print Layout mode. Clicking View > Print Layout would toggle to Web Layout mode and the text would then cover the whole page width. If a document is changed and saved when in Web Layout mode, it could reopen in Print Layout mode. Check the page margin settings.
