Openoffice page placing

144419855310001 · 06-12-2007, 04:23 PM

Hi

I've noticed, compared to Microsoft Office, when you maximise the window in OpenOffice (with the view on print layout) the page is always positioned to the left. I like OpenOffice, and prefer it over Abiword/KOffice etc., but I find this asymmetricality somewhat irritating. Does anyone know how I can have the page positioned in the middle of the screen instead of off to one side?

Thanks

Yes, that's a very annoying thing, I've tried a lot of options but no result, hopefully someone here may know the solution.

Having it on the left keeps it near the vertical ruler.

Sorry, but I like it the way it is.

That was a humorous response :lol:

Freedom of choice, configurability, etc. etc., ---> Linux ideals?
It might be great for you but personally I'd like to be able to change it

Surely I can't be the first wanting to do this

The OpenOffice people could give you a better answer, and many of them use it in Linux. Go to www.openoffice.org and post your question in the set up and trouble shooting forum.
