Description Raphaël Droz 2015-09-30 03:44:34 UTC 
Using LibreOffice Calc 4.3.3
I have two sheets, both can easily fit in the 210mm of an A4 (few columns)
and both can easily fit in the 297/2 = 140mm of the half-height of an A4 (few lines).

I want to print both of them on a single page, one above this other, in portrait mode.

I can't.

If I do
Print > Page Layout > Pages per Sheet set to 2
The preview show a portrait page, whose smallest dimension (width) is divided in two with one sheet on each side. The [1 2] number confirms that. Using "top to bottom" does not change anything (I would expect it the change the layout to consider the verticality as the direction)

If I do:
Print > Page Layout > Pages per Sheet set to "Custom"
Pages = 2 by 1, neither "Orientation" nor "Order" give me a chance to get the request result (they do not affect the layout in Portrait)

If I do:
Print > Page Layout > Pages per Sheet set to "Custom"
Pages = 2 by 1, then "Order" = "Top to Bottom", I can see the first sheet
over the second one. But this leave a big blank space on the right side of the page (which is expected to contain 2 other sheets). This is not an acceptable workaround since sheet are needlessly ridiculously small.

Is the layout even supported? How? Where is it documented?
