Print Area Grayed out
Using a Excel 2003 spreadsheet that's been converted to Excel 2007, I'm
trying to redefine the print area, but the "Print Area" option on the Pagelayout tab is grayed out. I've tried selecting the entire spreadsheet along with individual cells and can't get the area to become active. I've gone into Sheet Tab within the Page Setup group and it also seems to be inactive. Help? |

It sounds like the worksheet may be protected, which can prevent changes to the print area. Here are some steps you can take to try and resolve the issue:
I hope these steps help you resolve the issue with the print area. |

You must be trying this in Print Preview mode.
Try it from workbook file menu FilePageSetupSheet tab -- If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "cornella1229" wrote: Using a Excel 2003 spreadsheet that's been converted to Excel 2007, I'm trying to redefine the print area, but the "Print Area" option on the Pagelayout tab is grayed out.

Print Area Grayed out
Thanks JS. I was in normal view but you're suggestion made me try one other
thing. Realizing I had "Freeze Panes" activated, I unactivated and now I'm able to select the Print Area. I'll assume once I redefine my print area, I'll be able to resume Freeze Panes. Thanks for making me work a little more!! "Jacob Skaria" wrote: You must be trying this in Print Preview mode.
