It takes as many pages to print, as the JPG covers up.


I first tried to open the PowerPointe in Libre Office but that was a
complete disaster, apparently because Libre Office doesn't respect
PowerPointe formatting.

So then I did what you said.
1) I opened LibreOffice 5.3.4.2 (x64) on Windows
2) I clicked on the green "Calc Spreadsheet" on the left pane.
3) That brought up a blank spreadsheet
4) I dragged and dropped newt.bmp onto the spreadsheet
5) I moved the result to the top left corner.

6) FilePrintPreview, but the margins are horrifically huge

7) There are actually 9 pages to this but there really should only be 4

How did you the sample document from 9 pages down to only 4 pages?

Is the trick to get 4 pages to reduce the margins manually?
Or to reduce the image size?

Why didn't you use 'Draw" rather than "Calc"? One is a spreadsheet, the
other more for images. The print dialog for draw has the tiling options.
