Can OpenOffice print Landscape Page?

  • Thread starter VietDao29

In summary, the conversation discusses the use of OpenOffice Writer to print Landscape Pages. The speaker encountered an issue where the pages were printing vertically instead of horizontally. They tried adjusting the printer settings but it did not solve the problem. They also tried using MS Word which worked, leading them to believe it was not a printer issue. The solution was to go to Format->Page and select the Landscape option. The issue was resolved.

I've tried using OpenOffice Writer to print some Landscape Pages (i.e pages that are not Portrait). Or in other words, I want to print some pages horizontally, and I did adjust the settings for the printer by clicking the Properties button, then choose Landscape, instead of Portrait.
But when I clicked on OK, it printed the page vertically. :frown:
Did I do something wrong? Or is it a bug in OpenOffice?
I did the same in MS Word, and it worked, so I guessed it's not my printer that caused the problem.
Thanks,

I think you need to go to Format->Page and then click on the Landscape radio button.
