I often get slightly different layout when this is checked, and the document usually gets a bit longer. If space is tight, I usually see that it is unchecked, before I export to PDF. What I find baffling is that it's difficult to make it stick: if I uncheck "Use printer metrics" and then click on the "use as standard" button on that dialog, it does not stick - the next document still has the option checked. IIRC, there were versions of LO where the setting "stuck", was also applied to subsequent documents, but I haven't had any luck for a while, although I prefer the printer-independent layout, since it usually saves a little space.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
