Description Unknown 2002-09-03 18:48:52 UTC 
The following .rtf document:
www.arcat.com/report/stats/overall.rtf

will only print in portrait, not landscape.  If you set it to print to 
landscape, it will print in portrait.

I did get it to print in landscape by: 
going to 'file', 
'page preview', 
clicking on the 'print options page view' button, 
set to landscape, 
'ok' button, 
then I clicked on the 'print page view' button 
and the document printed in landscape.

Please let me know if you need any additional details.

Thanks OO,
Bill

It also works if you select 'Landscape' in Format->Page. I'll check
why the driver settings aren't used.

First if one wants to change the page orientation this should always 
be done with "Format - Page..." and use the Page tab page. Using the 
printer settings is not useful as the application can overwrite it 
with the "Page format". You can set new page format values for every 
page. So this behavior works as designed.

I talked with the Writer team and from our point of view it looks 
like the RTF document is broken. The document has a user format 
which is in real a letter/landscape format. I used the provided link 
and got a new RTF document which has a correct layout 
(letter/landscape).
So this looks more like a problem that a broken RTF generator was 
used to create the document.

We will fix the strange effect that the Office present the document 
in landscape orientation, but prints it in portrait orientation. So 
this behaviour violates the WYSIWYG metapher.

Changed the internal VCL code to better match user paper formats 
with printer paper formats. This fixes this problem and maybe others 
also.
