Default Print Preview and Changes

"scorpion53061" wrote in message
...
I would like to keep the print preview window visible while I make changes
to the underlying worksheet. As the changes are made they would be
reflected in the document in print preview.

Is this possible?


Hi Kelly,

No, this isn't possible. You can think of Print Preview as sort of a
separate program within Excel that uses the printer driver of the currently
active to take a snapshot of what your worksheet will look like when it's
printed. The only changes that will be reflected once the Print Preview
window is open are page setup changes.

There is a view called Page Break Preview (use the Tools/Page Break
Preview menu to switch to it) that shows you how the layout will be
paginated. You can change the worksheet in this view just like in normal
view, but it's not a true preview of what the printed worksheet will look
like other than where the page breaks will be located.
