Screen view/Print techniques
I have a sheet that was designed in high-screen resolution. I am trying to
make it more friendly to my users that need the larger text on their screen. I have accomplished this by shortening one of the long fields then zooming to fit the screen. As well as letting that now-shorter field wordwrap and then rows.autofit. This works great for the screen and I can have it adjust itself for any screen resolution by checking the zoom% that was set. Originally I had the same sheet set up all of the print parameters so that the data could be printed out with good formatting. Now the problem I am having is that the word wrapped columns are making what used to be a 20 page report over 100pages. What are some techniques that I could use to reset the wordwrapped column back to a single line just for the print preview and print, then automatically back to the larger row with wordwrapping for the screen view? I had thought about making a seperate sheet just for the print, but that seems clunky. Are there some other possibilities? What are the Auto_ type events that print and print preview can fire (might be a place to put the copy to print-sheet code if that is my only or best option) -- Regards, John |

Screen view/Print techniques
I've tried to fix similar problems and the only thing that I could come up
with (it's not great) is to set each columns width to some huge number then auto size the columns. This gets rid of the word wrap. I haven't needed to return to the word wrap however. It's not great but has worked. "John Keith" wrote: I have a sheet that was designed in high-screen resolution.
