            Bug ID: 116181
           Summary: Calc different Page settings for separate
                    worksheets/tabs, portrait or landscape, diagram only
                    tabs
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
New feature 1: I really would like to see an option for setting different page
layout for individual sheets (tabs) in Calc, like one could be portrait and the
other could be landscape, different margins, different printing page layout
width - height, etc. 

I am just wondering whether it would be useful to extend this functionality to
page size too; and whether it would affect or cause any issue at printing the
document or saving it to PDF and print it later.

New feature 2: Also when creating diagrams in Calc it would be nice to have an
option to create diagram in a new tab automatically with its own page settings.
I am pretty sure it is possible - even now - to do this with some workaround
like simply dragging it to a separate tab; however, I think it would be nice to
include this option in the dialog.

Why would it be useful: 
Let's say someone creates a long portrait style list of figures on one tab like
all date for a year  (1 page wide but 10 pages long) and on the other one
creates a year-report by months (Jan - Dec) which usually better in landscape
style (1 page wide and 1 page long). 

Printing-page-layout setting: I do use this setting a lot, however, due to
having different style, length and width in tables, one overall setting results
in unreadable small-print page while the other page is just fine. Usually I try
to solve this by hiding not so relevant columns, however this is not always
possible.

As for the diagram it would just be nice and neat in separate sheet sometimes;
also it is quite hard and time consuming to reset its size manually to
page-size grid-lines by pulling the edges - I mean using all valuable area of
the page. 
(This is actually true for simple tables in Calc,too; most of the time one line
or column goes to separate page 'accidentally'. Usually I solve this by setting
printing page layout to 1 sheet wide. Just maybe, sometimes this would help:
highlight area - right click menu option - respectfully resize to 1 page
keeping ratios of columns and lines.)

Overall summary: Calc is great but the printed pages not so great and not so
readable all the time or simply takes too much effort to set it right.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.None
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Calc is great but the printed pages not so great and not so readable all the
time or simply takes too much effort to set it right.

Expected Results:
Some page layout settings and formatting should be automatic.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
