I'm really sorry to disagree with this wishful thinking, but - 1. It is *not* expected that printing modifies document. That some editor decided to do that does not that it's (a) a good move at all, and (b) a viable solution for LibreOffice, taking into account that Word does not have a concept of page styles at all. 2. Have you tried to see how does this work with a simple case of a document with some pages having landscape pages, and some portrait? I assure you, it's an interesting experience. As the maximum, I'd agree that a dedicated mode could be useful, like "Fit text to paper", which would do all those tricks *without modifying the document*! So a user who doesn't care about formatting, but wants a quick print-out of the data with maximally used paper space, would just select it, get what you offer now *only in the dialog and print*, and return to the intact document without modified orientation and "modified" status. I believe that putting magic into print dialog is just plain wrong UX. Even if it would please some users, I don't believe it is an improvement for the majority.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
