2. Printed text is truncated at the boundary (boundary not printed) of a column instead of continuing into the next (empty column). This too seems arbitrary in that some text prints across the border, other text doesn't.This is usually a result of the content of the cell overprinted (the cell must be completely empty to be overprinted) and the way the content of the current cell was created. Strings will try to overprint the next cell, function results will not.Truncation of text strings is a major show stopper. Spreadsheets are very convenient for me to use for a lot of my work, as they provide an easy way of formatting documents which are normally made up of a lot of text strings and a sizeable chunk of (normally trivial) maths. I do need to depend on the text strings printing out in full, and it would certainly be a horrendous task to try and check each text string in 'print preview' in order to be sure it is going to be fully printed on the hard copy. Not sure what you mean by "the way the content of the current cell was created". The cells are certainly empty but the text truncates at the left edge of the cell without any pattern that I can see. Is there any chance of these text printing problems being corrected in the near future?
I know that there are/may be some problems with the printing of text, but I don't quite yet understand yours. Do you see text strings that overflow into the next cell on screen but not in print? Or are there text strings on screen that should overflow but aren't? Does the next cell seem empty? You may want to send us/me a small sample file with the issues and/or post a bug report or enhancement request against gnumeric at bugzilla.gnome.org. We won't be able to correct any problems until we understand them. The problems I know about only occurred under strange circumstances or less common scripts. Andreas -- Andreas J.
