Problem using Print to File in OpenOffice

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 19 Aug 2004

Q:
I'm using OpenOffice.org on SUSE Linux, and having trouble with the Print to File feature. How do I select the file to which I want to print the document?



A:
As you've discovered, the design of the Print dialog has been changed between the version 1.0.x and the version 1.1.x of OpenOffice.org. The input line for entering the file is no longer available. The Save As dialog is no longer invoked immediately after Print to file is enabled.

With OpenOffice.org, version 1.1.x, the Save As dialog opens automatically after the user clicks OK when Print to file is selected.
