Thank you for your suggestions Ed. We will try several of these and see
what happens. I guess after so long we justifiably get a little frustrated.
After so many years when will wysiwyg finally really become wysiwyg?

Thanks

Hi Blue Max,

Excel printing can be problematic because Excel talks to your printer
driver to render the page. Not everyone has the same printer drivers, so
not everyone gets the same results.

Here are a couple of things to try;

Make sure you are using True Type fonts. These have a T in front of the
font name in the format dialog.

In the print dialog, click Properties. You will be taken to your printer
properties. The exact dialog looks different for each
printer, but in general...
- if there is an option to send True Type fonts as bitmaps, make sure
this is disabled
- there should be an option to use True Type fonts or printer fonts, try
one then the other to see what works (TT is usually better)

Finally, try changing the printer to Microsoft XPS Document Writer. Then
check if the print preview is substantially different from your normal
printer. If it is, you may need to download a new printer driver.
