Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 57207
Can't save personal handout layout
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:36:48 UTC
It is possible to change the standard layout for handout to optimise printing space (for example) but there is no visible ways to save them. So each time i must print with my personal page layout i must rebuild it ...
Reassigned.
This is a feature and not a bug.
I'd like to submit this as a request for enhancement, then. It seems rather silly not to allow users to save handout (and other) layouts, especially considering one of the most-used (for teaching, at least) handout layouts is missing: slides on the left and lines on the right for note taking. What's the thinking behind this? The same goes for not allowing the resizing of slides/images in the handout layout.
I believe your issue may be fixed with: Issue 85355 - Enhance handout printing in impress - available in the new OOo 3 BETA (still in testing): http://download.openoffice.org/3.0beta/ Please consider testing this new release and report back the outcome so this Issue may be Closed or Progressed as necessary. Many thanks, Andrew Cleaning-up and Closing old Issues as part of: ~ The Grand Bug Squash, pre v3 ~ http://marketing.openoffice.org/3.0/announcementbeta.html
Hi *, In Dev300/OOo3.0 Beta there is the choise for three pages pers slide + lines for comment, which is a great imrovement (see issue 85355). In 2.4.1 one can change the layout of hand outs to certain level: change position and add lines with shapes and such. This works fine and saves, as long as you do not select another hand out design ;-) In Dev300_m23 you can change the lay out, but it will not print: the slides are printed in the original position. When you save a lay out in 2.4.1, it is shown in Dev300_m23, but also does not print. I confirm this issue and set to new.
Changed summary. Was "Can't create personal handout layout". Is "Can't save personal handout layout (position / shapes - the size of the slides is not involved)"
I missed something: pressing F4 when an image is selected, offers the possibility to unprotext the size. So also the size can be changed. Only yo cannot really save changes in a save way, as explained before. Thus change summary again.
still the same in 3.1.1
