Writer Guide

• If you are printing double-sided on a non-duplexing printer, you
might choose to print only left or right pages, then turn the stack
over and print the other pages.
• Depending on how your printer ejects pages (face up or face
down), you might need to print the pages in reverse order so they
stack in the correct order as they are printed.
Tip
You can override any of these defaults when printing a
document. Click File > Print, then click the Options button
on the Print dialog box. The Printer Options dialog box that
appears is similar to the one shown in Figure 47.
Default table options
On the OpenOffice.org Writer – Table page, you can specify the default
behavior of tables.

Some considerations:
• If most of your tables will require borders or headings, select
those options. If most of your tables are used for page layout,
deselect borders and headings.
• Number recognition can be very useful if most of your tables
contain numerical data; Writer will recognize dates or currency,
for example, and format the numbers appropriately. However, if
you want the numbers to remain as ordinary text, this feature can
be quite irritating, so you will want to deselect it.
