This is the way excel works with discontiguous print areas.
You do have a couple of options, though.
1. If you're lucky, you can hide the rows/columns you don't need to print so
that it looks like one contiguous range.
2. Copy the ranges to a new worksheet and print from there.
3. Copy the ranges, but paste as pictures on that new worksheet.
create a new worksheet
copy the first range (select, edit|Copy)
to the new sheet (select A1, shift-edit|Paste picture link)
do the same with the second range
What's nice about this is when you change the original ranges, the pictures
will update--so you don't have to worry about doing the work twice.

Ok we are getting there
the set print area method is best for me as it prints only the info i
require
however i have another problem which is baffling me
the selected print areas are on different parts of the page, but when i
print the page each print area prints on a seperate sheet of paper
when i setup the print areas from page break view i can see the
highlighted print areas
with page1,page2,page3 etc.. page1 being in print area1 and page2
being in print area 2 etc...
i want all the print areas to print on the same sheet of paper as its
viewed on screen
any ideas
thanks in advance
