Open office: The Dilemma

For security reason, the ICT management in our school decided to use Open Office Applications. The transitions was indeed very difficult for us who are used in using Microsoft Applications. How I wish a seminar will be conducted. My colleague have the dilemma in adjusting the printing settings specially for the Spreadsheet (Excel equivalent). The footers cannot be printed. Indeed, it really consumed much of our time in adjusting the settings every time we have to print, not to mention the wasted papers. Normally, adjustment period really takes time. We have no choice but to adapt the changes. Anyway, only few things are needed to be mastered. Though OpenOffice Application is closely similar to Microsoft Application, it still needs mastery, and patience perhaps? :)
