XL98: Printing Nonadjacent Areas on One Sheet (181911)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q181911 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition, you attempt to print out separate
sections of a workbook on one page, but instead they print on multiple
pages.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you set multiple nonadjacent Print Areas in a
workbook.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, hide the columns and rows between the areas
and set a single, continuous print area to print everything on one page. An
example of how to do this is as follows:
- In a new workbook, type the following:
A1:Test1 B1:Test1
A2:Test1 B2:Test1
A3: B3:
A4:Test2 B4:Test2
A5:Test2 B5:Test2
- Select Row 3. On the Format menu, point to Row, and then click Hide.
- Select A1:B5. On the File menu, point to Print Area, and then click
Set Print Area.
- The selected items will now print as one page.
STATUS
This is by design of Microsoft Excel.
