Default Excel print object?

What I do with ScreenCapture has nothing to do with what you want to do
print-wise. IF YOU PUT A PAGE BREAK AFTER EACH IMAGE as I suggested and
use normal print process, individual pages will be printed ONE IMAGE
PER PAGE!

** One has to GET the image first. At present i have no way to transfer
the fifth iobj as an image to anything, so it is moot.

Not understanding your meaning here; - if the image is already on a
worksheet then just follow its position with a PageBreak so the normal
printing process outputs 1 image per page. Isn't this what you want?

** What is "follow its position"?
** So far, there is no "normal printing process"; i do not know what
method or process or ... to use for printing.


Ok, assuming your image objects are on a worksheet and are oriented
top-to-bottom, the cell where the image object is inserted should also
contain a PageBreak so when you use Excel's Print process there will be one
image object per page. (You'll be able to see this in the PrintPreview
pane)

There is only one object and it spans/covers a goodly number of cells; it
was inserted from a file, and takes space like a chart.
Therefore, a page break will have no effect - that would be behind the
image/picture.
And there is no "PrintPreview pane", never ever seen one in 7 years.


Uh.., I've been using Excel since v4.0 and there has always been a PrintPreview
window (File Print Preview) until v2007 when PrintPreview was included on the
Print tab of BackOffice, and now the File Print tab in v2010 and later.

Stupid mmmmmmmm... what code is needed to print a chart?
Perhaps i could fumble that to print either the object or the picture,
since those are the same image.

Thanks.


You can't print objects themselves, just the portion of the sheet the objects
are on.
