Setting page breaks (another)
 

Hello group,

Need a little help with this as my Excel skills are a little rusty.

I have a spreadsheet with repeating blocks of data in three rows.
First row cell 1 spans cols 1-9,
second row cell 1 spans rows 2-3, cell 2 spans cols 2-9
third row,each is (after first is unique, but height of row 3 is variable
There's the occasional header row to skew the count as well
ie:
--------------------------
--|-----------------------
|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--
--------------------------
--|-----------------------
|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--

I need to set the page breaks prior to the repeating first row.

How do I find out:
- how many rows fit on a page given the varying row height; ie how many
points on a page (is it screen/printer dependent)?
- how to figure out I'm in a first row

Once I have the answer to the first part,
i think I can
loop through each row,
add the Cells.RowHeight
until over the PointsPerPageLimit
then go back
until the Rows(row).MergeCells is true and Rows(row).MergeArea.Count =9
then ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks.Add befo=Cells (Row, 0)

Does this make sense, and thanks for your help.

Ian.

Setting page breaks (another)
 

Use automatic pagebreaks to tell you where the next page break is.

force a pagebreak before that.

However, where the pagebreak is will be dependent on the activeprinter. If
you change printers, it could change where the automatic pagebreak falls.
