![]() ![]() I followed the advice I read somewhere else and exported a PDF of the document which would not fit on a single sheet of paper. You may choose to adjust a little if there is a very small amount printed on some of the pages, e.g., I have seen a corner less than 1-inch square put onto a single sheet. Then, do your stuff, and print using the “Distribute…” mechanism to see what happens. ![]() I suggest creating your large sheet with at least 0.39 inches of border (for my printer,) as that is what the default was when I open a new document in Libre Draw. It is likely something hard-coded into the device driver, and I don’t want to look for the source for that or try to reverse engineer it from the binary, so we are stuck. When I try to print something by selecting “Distribute on multiple sheets of paper,” I get something that does not seem to follow these limitations. Down below where it said “- end Macbook.” This section was when I thought I might be able to print from LibreOffice running on my Macbook. (No tabs available to line up columns in the editor for posting to this site or I don’t know how to use them.) I found out my laser printer will print within about this far from each side of an 8.5x11 inch sheet of paper in portrait mode, with the bottom being the side you see on the bottom of your document: Top: 0.25 inches I created a test page with lines 0.1 inches apart. PRINTING LARGER THAN A SINGLE SHEET OF PAPER I learned more about printing things larger than a single sheet of paper, but I don’t know where to put them. Then I set the “Width:” and “Height:” values to what I wanted. I don’t know what happens if you do not do this. I changed the “Format:” selection from “A4” to “User” because that seems to make sense. (I’ll be the first to admit to having had that stance in the past and even now.) So it takes opening your mind to see that the template system is probably more versatile while keeping things pretty simple. Unfortunately, new users sometimes want LO to work the way that other things they’ve used work. This has probably been covered in much more depth elsewhere in Ask, so be sure to search more widely for this. Later you can go back to File Templates Manage Templates. Then save that page as a Template, possibly the Default Template using: File Templates Save as Template.Įnter a template name, like Letter Portrait narrow margins or whatever and possibly check the Set as Default Template box. To set the printer page size go to Format Page. To get started creating your own Template you:įirst create a page, possibly a dummy page, with the settings you want. You can download a template, or create your own. (Tip: For base forms use Writer Templates not base Templates.) Each template is a starting point for your settings when you create a document. To make this work smoothly, LO uses what are called Templates. ![]() Unlike applications with just one set of settings, LO has the ability to have many different paper size and other setups.įor example, say your work sometimes requires you to use Letter, but other times you need Legal, or A4, or whatever. ![]()
