How can I create a footer containing more than 255 characters
I don't think VBA will allow you to break this rule either.
In xl2002+, you could add a picture to the footer (and maybe you could create a picture of your disclaimer). Maybe print a bunch of sheets with just the disclaimer (created in MSWord) and then printing the excel data on a second pass through the printer. Maybe...Put it in some cells and then use rows to repeat at Top (move it to the header).

You could type out the disclaimer in Word, copy, paste special as picture,
copy this picture into Paint and save, then place this picture in the footer of your worksheet.

But only if you have xl2002+. Support for pictures in headers/footers was added
then. Gary Rowe wrote: You could type out the disclaimer in Word, copy, paste special as picture, copy this picture into Paint and save, then place this picture in the footer of your worksheet.
