Well, logically speaking, we should not have to set the paper options in more than one place. I'm all for OOO setting the page options and not having to futz with it in the printer setup dialog. As for printing booklets, I DO agree a booklet template would be handy. But setting the page from Format->Page is more intuitive than having to manually make sure the driver settings are in sync with the OOO page
There is only one place to set paper options in OOO, that is in the print dialogue. The other place "Format->Page" is for setting page options. I don't know why the hell it's so easy to mix them together. 90% printed meterial in this world do not have equal size of paper and page! Example A: text books used in school is A5 page printed on A4 paper, for sure A4 paper is binded in the middle. Example B: most newspaper have more then 4 pages on one piece of paper. OOO do have the feature that if you don't specify paper size, it automatically take the page size, which is very intuitive if you always print one page on one piece of paper...
I have found out that sometimes it works with a single place and some times it does not. It dould be my setup but then I notice, this occurs with different versions of OOO. I have not tried doing anything with the latest version. since SUSE does not provide an upgrade unless there is a major security hole.
I do seem to have run into a problem when removing backgrounds on a text box with text boxes within text boxes. It usually crashes the program. I am currently running 2.0.1.
I often crash my OOO on SuSE as well as on any other Linux (Gentoo) using native package, later I learned the key point is not to use gtk, and most native packages are compiled with gtk if you use Gnome. For SuSE the firs thing I do after installed the machine is to remove 'Openoffice-Gnome' package. But my experience seems to be related to Chinese documents only, so YMMV. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
