The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q186869

SYMPTOMS

When you view your workbook in print preview, the Zoom button may be dimmed (unavailable).

CAUSE

The Zoom button may be dimmed in print preview if your monitor is set to a very high video resolution. When you are using a high resolution monitor, Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition determines that zooming capability is unnecessary.

RESOLUTION

To make the Zoom button available in print preview, lower the resolution on your monitor. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Quit Microsoft Excel.
  2. On the Apple menu, point to Control Panels, and then click Monitors & Sound.
  3. Click the Monitor button in the Monitors & Sound control panel.
  4. Select a lower resolution in the Resolution list.

    You monitor resolution is automatically changed to that resolution.
  5. Close the Monitors & Sound control panel.
  6. Restart Microsoft Excel.
