I tried an interesting thing.. (to better understand what's going on in the
mind of Excel)
I thought.. Why are we even showing Line 2
Application.EnableEvents = False
and Line 9
Application.EnableEvents = True

so I commented them both out and Clicked on the print-preview button as
before. But nothing happened. The
Print-Preview click did nothing.

Q? - Why is that?
Major breakthrough when I comprehend this!!
TIA,
Jim

Norman,
Yes, somehow my Application.EnableEvents was set to FALSE; Not sure how,
but anyway..
Q? - Although I have the line:
Cancel = True
Code continues to next line where
Application.EnableEvents = True << This does Run - doesn't it?

Appreciate the answer,,
Jim

= True

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,
