Attached are 2 small sheets which should demonstrate the problem.
The file bill2.gnumeric is the result of opening an OpenOffice .sxc file in AbiWord. The raw data is there, but a lot of the formatting is lost, and various cells are relocated from their original positions. Running a print preview on this (unedited) file shows truncated text at, for instance cells B1, B5, A12, A14, C31, and others.
When you said Abiword, I suspect you meant Gnumeric ? It would be nice to see the openoffice file to understand why the import did not work properly. It should have.
Brain fade. I'm waiting on a transplant. In the mean time I'm trying to replace Openoffice with Abiword and Gnumeric. The OO file is attached.
The file bill.gnumeric had the original OpenOffice formatting reinstated in the new Gnumeric sheet (bill2), and the file was then saved under the new name. All columns were widened after your advice yesterday, and this resolved the date printing issue, but does not seem to have assisted with the text truncation. Although it should be noted that the text truncated is now in different locations to that in "bill2". For instance cell B2 is now truncated where it was not in the previous sheet.Hmm, I don't see any truncated text in either bill nor bill2 using the gnumeric development version. I'll be trying 1.2.5 later today. Which version of Gnumeric and libgnomeprint/libgnomeprintui are you using?
Gnumeric is the stock 1.2.0 included with Slackware 9.1. Libgnomeprint/libgnomeprintui are also both Slackware 9.1 packages, versions libgnomeprint-2.3.1-i486-1 and libgnomeprintui-2.3.1-i486-1.
The font was changed from "Sans" in the imported sheet "bill2" to "Arial" in "bill". I'm not sure how far this is significant.this shouldn't have anything to do with text truncation but it is unusual. This is puzzling. Andreas -- Prof. Dr. Andreas J.
