I'm the fellow who posted the "extra boxes" lines, and I can't answer 
that.  I don't use OO anymore--when I upgraded my Linux distro, they
eliminated OO in favor of LO.  I didn't "preview" the print file, I 
didn't convert it to pdf, I just opened the file and printed it out on 
paper. I _think_ I remember that it showed up on screen, but I'm not 
sure.(It was a schedule, that I got on a bi-monthly basis, and every 
issue of it came out the same way.) Not being a spread-sheet guru, I 
didn't know about "selecting the lines and changing them to a 'default - 
no formatting ' style."  The same problem exists in the cousin program, 
Symphony. anyway, it's definitely a bug in OO, and LO has fixed it.
