Page break view

[Bober]

I tried to find that option in freeoffice, beta of softoffice 2018 and now when I bought Softoffice 2018... I still can't find page break preview.

Something like this:

This option is available in excel, libre office, WPS office.... but I can't find it here. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hello Pawel

The page breaks are represented by black lines inside the current sheet. I have not much experimented with altering colors for grid and stuff and will not promise that they will be very visible to your eye. I try a screen shot from one of my own PlanMaker files:

I have had many problems with these page breaks and there were bugs, where the display did not correspond to my authentic print-outs. But with the recent releases of PlanMaker I have not (yet) been able to reproduce these difficulties.

This one I found, but it is not what I was looking for. I would like to change page break with mouse. Anyway thank you for your assistance.

I would like to change page break with mouse.

I see. The feature does, AFAIS, not exist in SoftMaker Office. And, while I see how it could be useful for the text-processor, the implementation for the spreadsheet must be complicated due to the possible ways to devise a table in sections, horizontally and vertically. If you have experience with this way of setting page breaks, could you explain the behavior of a spreadsheet program, when the horizontal size of a page imposes that content be moved to an additional page..? Does it ask for your decision or is the result imposed and, thus, improved by trial and error..?

Page break view in PlanMaker is on the wish list for the future.

Do you have an estimated time of arrival for this option??? It would be great to have it, after many updates I still don't see it.

Sorry, nothing concrete yet.

And in your opinion, what should be

the behavior of a spreadsheet program, when the horizontal size of a page imposes that content be moved to an additional page..? Does it ask for your decision or is the result imposed and, thus, improved by trial and error..?

I guess that most open questions could be answered with an input-dialog, where the user can impose her/his final word. When, in the end, a page break view is devised after the example of different office-suites, then how do current users agree or disagree with their behavior?

The best possible moment to sort this out is before the first line of code is written or modified.
