Re: [libreoffice-users] How to print a section of a SS

Thank you Alan and Steve.  I was not printing to a PDF, but that could 
have been a later nightmare.  Where my mindset was wrong was that I 
thought that the mousing a section WAS the define.  So I clicked on 
define, then moused, then had nothing.  I just tried your method Steve 
and it worked.  My vendor in Canada will receive my limited spreadsheet 
shortly!

Thank you,
John
