Getting Started Guide

Copy sort results to
Sets a spreadsheet address to which to copy the sort results. If a range is
specified that does not have the necessary number of cells, then cells are added. If
a range contains cells that already have content, then the sort fails.
Custom sort order
Select the box, then choose one of the sort orders defined in Tools > Options >
Spreadsheet > Sort Lists from the drop-down list.
Direction
Sets whether rows or columns are sorted. The default is to sort by columns unless
the selected cells are in a single column.
Printing
Printing from Calc is much the same as printing from other OOo components (see
Chapter 10), but some details are different, especially regarding preparation for
printing.
Using print ranges
Print ranges have several uses, including printing only a specific part of the data or
printing selected rows or columns on every page. For more about using print ranges,
see Chapter 6 (Printing, Exporting, and E-mailing) in the Calc Guide.
Defining a print range
To define a new print range or modify an existing print range:
1) Highlight the range of cells that comprise the print range.
2) Choose Format > Print Ranges > Define.
The page break lines display on the screen.
Tip
You can check the print range by using File > Page Preview. OOo will
only display the cells in the print range.
Adding to the print range
After defining a print range, you can add more cells to it. This allows multiple,
separate areas of the same sheet to be printed, while not printing the whole sheet.
After you have defined a print range:
1) Highlight the range of cells to be added to the print range.
2) Choose Format > Print Ranges > Add. This adds the extra cells to the print
range.
The page break lines no longer display on the screen.
Note
The additional print range will print as a separate page, even if both
ranges are on the same sheet.
