Hi Peter

the only way i can repeat the behaviour that you have outlined below is by
setting the "fit to x pages wide by x pages tall" option in file / page
setup .... this over-rides the page breaks.

Changing this back to 100% scaling allows me to use manual page breaks.
Does this also work for you?

Cheers

I am using Excel 2003. I enter page breaks, but nothing appears on screen
and the page breaks don't register and pages don't print separately. View
page breaks does not show dashed lines. The box under Options for page
breaks is ticked. This happens always. It did not happen with the
previous
version of Excel.
