Hi I am hesitant to ask this as I am not sure if this is even a problem with what I am trying to do.

I am posting here to ask whether the page size in the writer app is according to the A4 page size or US letter page size? Asking this because I am creating a report and one of the page's in report has a large graph which will be printed horizontally. The graph is pretty detailed, so it needs to be printed properly in large size with clear to read fonts (basically higher DPI printing is needed). I am planning to print it at 600 DPI.

I want to print it on the A4 size paper and using this page I figured out the pixel dimensions of the graph image. Now just confused with aligning it properly to print it the best way based on the writer app's paper size?

Thanks

Press F11 key to open Styles and Formatting (also known as "the stylist"). Press fourth icon from the left on its bar to open the Page Styles. Use the dropdown on the bottom to select "Applied Styles". Now only the styles used in your document will be shown. Right click on each of these in turn, select Modify from the popup menu; press the Page tab, and see if A4 or Letter is shown in the Format box. If you do not wish to change this, press Cancel.

[Later] you will also need to adjust the printer settings in /File /Print : Properties button to be the correct paper size.

Thanks for the instructions. I was able to find the settings. It was letter for me at both the places. Changed it to A4.

Do not forget to adjust the printer settings to the new paper size, using the /File /Print : Properties button.

Yup I did change that as well at the time of printing. Thank you for your help. Appreciate it
