Description:
Feature Request

The xls and xlsx files created in Excel may have non-printable shapes or non-printable text boxes.
For example, there are notes and supplementary information in non-printable text boxes.

L.O does not have a function to exclude them from printing. 
Attribute information that is non-printable is lost. 

So I must delete them before printing.

In some cases, the original xls or xlsx file is corrected and returned to the creator of the original Excel file.
In that case, I want to make as few changes to the original document as possible.
However, due to compatibility issues with EXCEL, unintended changes are made. 


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load xls and xlsx files containing non-printable shapes by CALC.
2.Print.
3.Non-printable shapes will also be printed. 


Actual Results:
Attribute information that is non-printable is invalid in CALC 


Expected Results:
In CALC, an interface is provided for the shape to specify information that is non-printable. 
Shapes that are non-printable are not printed. 

Attribute information of shapes that are non-printable can be read from xls or xlsx files by CALC.
Attribute information of shapes that are non-printable can be written to xls or xlsx files  by CALC.



Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
