formatting in OS X
 

I'm using OS 10.3.9; Excel 11.1.1 trying to format an annual budget
spreadsheet using colors to highlight certain areas; borders around most of
the row/columns.

Unformatted (no color, no cell borders) using currency for the majority of
cells, no issue printing. Upon coloring and adding borders the numbers
shift to the right nearly one column and get squashed.

suggestions?

I can't reproduce that in Tiger (and don't remember it doing so in
10.3.9).

It sounds vaguely like a bug that exists when the Print quality
(File/Page Setup..., Page tab) is set to something other than High (it
seems to be only with certain systems/printer driver combos). Try
changing that setting - does the problem resolve itself?

If not, does this happen with any workbook or just one?

If you can reproduce it in every workbook, post back with some more
information: standard font, font in use, column width, exact format,
magnitude of the largest value, which borders and their thickness, which
color (if it matters), and which printer driver.

You may get more help using the microsoft.public.mac.office.excel group.

THANKS for the help - setting print quality to "high" did the trick!
