Ah! So this is perhaps what I am looking for, and, you are right, 
obviously the wrong tool.

So, just to get it straight, if, for example, my first 3 sheets are 
arranged for input and reporting on monitor only, Instead of having 
"sheet 4" set up to output to a printer, I could then have the data 
display and print according to a page format in Writer? Do I then need 
to have the same writer page open at the same time as the spreadsheet to 
have the data display on all sheets?

Thanks for the help.

Marc
