First, let me thank the Gnumeric developers; for a while, I used StarOffice, but I never like it at all. I find Gnumeric much easier to use. I have a couple suggestions for the print setup dialog. I'm a teaching assistant in the math department at the University of Minnesota, and I have to hand in gradebooks at the end of the semester (naturally I keep them in Gnumeric) and I want to repeat columns on every page. The spreadsheet looks like this: Name Homework 1 Homework 2 John Smith 10 8 ... Jane Doe 9 9 ... I'd like to repeat column A (the name) on each page, so in the Print Setup -> Sheet dialog, I went to the "Columns to repeat on the left side" box and typed "A" -- which doesn't work. It was only after a lot of messing around that I figured out to put "A1:A65536" in that box to make it work. The online manual wasn't helpful; it would be nice if it included an example to show you what kind of input is required. It would also be nice if that dialog box accepted just letters, since that's the most intuitive way of referring to columns. Also, the manual refers several times to the "expr-entry widget". What is that? It doesn't seem like the term is defined anywhere in the manual, and I can't even find out what it is using a Google search!
