Hi Sandy,

O.K., right now (trying to retrace my steps) it looks
like it must be at FORMAT --> PAGE --> PAPER FORMAT.
It should say "Letter" there, rather than the default
A4. (I'm referring to either OO 1.14 or 1.15, for
either platform. If they changed the defaults or the
control layout in 2.0, I wouldn't know about it.)

You should not have to have an actual document up to
redo the settings, but I think you can. These should
be global defaults, not specific to one document.
Might not hurt to check on that, after the fact.

But, you know, in retrospect this seems much too
quick, too direct, too easy. I swear I had to go up
and down all of those menus and sub-menus for 20
minutes, before I got things set right. I hope this
is the right place . . . .

P.S.: I haven't had a chance to look at your
recalcitrant document yet, but I'm thinking there must
be some wonky embed in there somewhere, accounting for
the fact that it can't be printed at all, absent a Cut
& Paste job from the original text.
