Hi Alexander -
Who'd a thunk it? Your suggestion of skipping the workbook and going straight to a spreadsheet works! I \
can print and export plots, and the saved project will reload with all my plots present. When the plots \
are inside a workbook, the print and export options do nothing.
Yeah, it would be nice to have the current version, but I don't see an easy way to do it until some \
Fedora maintainer gets around to building a new package.
Many thanks for your help.
