Default Excel 2003 Page SetUp not functioning

When I select File\Page SetUp or PagePreview-SetUp nothing happens.
Tried to reinstall Excel. Tried running Detect-Repair. WORD Page-SetUp
funtions fine.

And this happens on every one of your workbooks--not just a few?

If it happens on every one of them, I think I'd remove the printer driver and
reinstall it.

But that's just a wild guess.

I opened an older workbook and the PageSetUp dialogue DID open.
I didn't 'delete' but I reinstalled the print driver (lexmark P6250)
I also installed MSO-2003-Pro-SP2 today.
Opened new blank workbook and also one recently created\saved
.. . .problem still present.
I guess only newer workbooks are having this issue.
Seems a little odd to me. . .don't know what to try now.

And. . .if make the lexmark P6250 'NOT' the default printer then Excel
Page-SetUp works. So. . .it must be with my printer driver somehow but don't
know what more I can do to update it or work around this other that switch
the 'default printer' long enough to adjust Excel page set up. I did this,
switched 'default' back and printed the document as expected.
Gotta be something to fix. . .I'm missing it.

Did you visit the lexmark site and get a fresh copy of the driver or did you
install from the original distribution disks?

(just something to try while you're waiting for a better answer...)

Default Excel 2003 Page SetUp not functioning

Yesterday installed (overlaid) existing installation with one obtained from
the web.
I had not done a full uninstall first.
Today - I deleted all Lexmark software and print drivers I could find.
Then I completed fresh install using copy downloaded from site.
That did the trick. . .Excel Page-SetUp working.
I noticed during installation it said "scanning for applications" so it must
have picked up something that was missing.

I guess if I had followed your original suggestion a little more
specifically and started with complete uninstall it probably would have
worked yesterday. . .even from the distribution disks.

Thank you very much
