Print Preview Discrepancy
 

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is an Excel question, but I have a shared excel
file that two people access. When one computer does a print preview the
margins are correct, however, when the second computer views the same file
and does a print preview on the same page the margins are off. The setup
page shows the same margins, and each computer has the same OS and same Excel
version. Both computers are also printing to the same exact printer. Any
suggestions on this?

Double check they are using the same version printer drivers.

Please don't use a signature separator if you don't bottom post. It
causes proper news reader to strip the other quoted replies.

perhaps the one setup is set to resize A4 Letter and the other is not.

How would I be able to check if one of the computers is doing that?

Options, General "Scale content for A4 or 8.5 x 11 paper sizes.

Another may be the margins that got set in the Windows Print server
properties on the PC.

I went to options in excel, general and the item you listed was not there.
Also, not sure how to access the Windows print server.

Click Start, Settings, r-click on Printers and Faxes, Open, File, Server
Properties.

(or look up Print Server in Windows Help, and follow the links)
