Hi Jim,

Your code works for me.

If you mean that no print preview window is displayed and the 'hidden' text
is printed, it may be that you have inadvertently turned events off.

In the immediate window, try:

? Application.EnableEvents

If the value is false, then:

Application.EnableEvents = True

I've been toying with thing the past 20 minutes
And it is refusing to work, any observations?

Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C13").Font.ColorIndex = 2
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C18").Font.ColorIndex = 2
ActiveSheet.PrintPreview
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C13").Font.ColorIndex = 1
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C18").Font.ColorIndex = 1
Cancel = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Intention, obviously is to hide (from printing) cells C13 and C18.
TIA,
