Use the little boxes on the corners to resize the chart by clicking on them and draggingthem until you like the proportions.Appearance Of ChartCharts created by spreadsheet programs are unappealing most of the time. You have to messwith the format of the chart elements to make them look better.The first thing I notice is a jagged plot line. That is appropriate for some data, but the sine functionis a smooth function, so make the following changes:1. Double-click somewhere on the chart if you see green boxes or no boxes.2. Click Format > Chart Type...3. Select Cubic Spline, , from the Variants box at the bottom.4. Click OK.That's better, but it could still use some improvement. Try:1. Click Format > Chart Wall.2. Click the Area tab. In the dialog box below Fill, click the and select None. Click OK.3. Place the cursor over the data plot line and double-click. (The smooth Purple line.)4. Click the Line tab. In the Color dialog box, change the color to Sea Blue.5. In the Width dialog box, change the width to .02. (Click the repeatedly or highlight thenumber in the dialog box and type ”.02”.) Click OK.6. Select Format > Grid > All Axis Grids...7. Change the Color to Gray 40%. (You have to scroll down the palette.) Click OK.8. The chart still seems busy. Select Format > Axis > X Axis. Click the Scale tab.9. Clear the Maximum check box and replace 90 with 45. Click OK.10. Change the main title text to Sine Function by double-clicking on it and editing it.11. When you are done, click somewhere else on the chart to accept the changes.12. Click on a worksheet cell. Click Format > Sheet > Rename. (The “Rename Sheet”window appears.) Rename the sheet, Sine Graph.13. Save your work. (Click “File > Save”.)Page Preview Toolbar14
The Page Preview Toolbar allows you to see what Calc is going to print.1. Bring up the Checking worksheet. (Use the at the bottom left of yourspreadsheet.)2. Click File > Page Preview. (The Page Preview toolbar appears.)3. If you look on the left end of the Page Preview Toolbar (the third toolbar), you will seefour book icons with arrows. These let you view each page that would go to the printer.• The Previous Page icon is first book icon.• The Next Page icon is the second book icon.• The First Page icon is the third book icon.• The Last Page icon is the fourth book icon.4. Click on the other icons on the Page Preview Toolbar to see their functions.5. Click Close Preview.Headers And FootersWhen printed, all pages will have a Header and a Footer on them. The header shows the name ofthe sheet. The footer shows the page number. All the pages have them. Here's how you can turnthem off or edit them:1. Click Page Format on the toolbar. (The "Page Style: Default" window appears.2. Click the Header tab.You can turn them off by unchecking the Header check box. You can also format the marginsand spacing.To edit the header, click Edit... (The "Header (Page Style: Default)" window appears.)Headers and Footers are broken into three sections. You can use one of the auto-format buttonsbelow the three boxes or type your own header.1. Click Cancel. (The "Header (Page Style: Default)" window closes.)2. Uncheck the Header box. Look through the other tabs.3. Click OK. (The "Page Style: Default" window closes.)The same procedures apply to the footer, so I won't elaborate on that. The Sheet tab gives youthe capability to control the way Calc determines the page order and what features to print orscale. The remaining tabs are self-explanatory.Note: Removing the header and footer will change the chart size, so you may have to resize it.Print RangesWhat if you don't want to print the whole worksheet? I'm glad you asked! Calc gives you theability to define print ranges.15
