I have copied the formulae down several hundred rows, because it is a
template that will receive different sized files. So there are
several
hundred rows with formulae in them, but they show up blank, and I
would like
to avoid printing the blank cells.

If all these blank rows will be clustered below the nonblank rows, you
could define the print area for the worksheet using a formula. For
example, if the worksheet were named WS, then run the menu command
Insert Name Define, enter WS!Print_Area in the topmost field in
the
Define Name dialog and enter the formula

=OFFSET(WS!$A$1:$J$1,0,0,
LOOKUP(2,1/(WS!$A$2:$A$65536<""),ROW(WS!$A$2:$A$65536)))

in the 'Refers to' entry field, then click OK. Replace the worksheet
name, WS, as needed. Also note that the print range could start in any
cell, so replace the first argument to OFFSET, WS!$A$1:$J$10 in the
formula above, with the range address of the topmost row of your
intended print range, and adjust the LOOKUP call as needed to
correspond to changes in the location of the print range (note that
both ranges in the LOOKUP call begin in the cell immediately below the
top-left cell of the print range).

I must say this is truly wonderful. I've been looking for a way to
dynamically set the print area that is ideal for a long time without
messing with hiding rows and cells and such. This has been working
perfectly on all of my templates so far!

Thanks!
