help! print screen locks up excel
Hello, I have a workbook that contains several macros and many formulas. It
works beautifully until I try to print or do a print preview. Then it locks up excel and I have to restart. Any ideas about what is causing this? Thanks! |

help! print screen locks up excel
As a test, try selecting a different printer so that you have a different
print driver selected and try printing. Excel interacts with the print driver when trying to print, so there may be a problem there. Note that if you don't have access to a different printer, you can install any available print driver and then use print preview rather than print (if print preview causes the same problem) to do the testing. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "pywhacket" wrote: Hello, I have a workbook that contains several macros and many formulas.

help! print screen locks up excel
I checked to be sure that the driver is up to date, it is. Also, no luck
printing to other printers or to a pdf. "Tom Ogilvy" wrote: As a test, try selecting a different printer so that you have a different print driver selected and try printing.

help! print screen locks up excel
Unless it is just taking a long time I haven't seen any other postings that
would indicate this is a systemic problem. Maybe check the knowledge base and see if you can find something http://support.microsoft.com -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "pywhacket" wrote: I checked to be sure that the driver is up to date, it is.

Just one more thing to check (and it's a wild guess).
Make sure your video drivers are up to date. pywhacket wrote: Thanks for your help, Tom. I will try that.

help! print screen locks up excel
Thanks for all of the help. I figured it out. There is an image that shows up
on the worksheets and the way I have it refreshing the images were repasting over and over - there were thousands. I put the image in a header instead. I felt quite idiotic when I realized what was happening! "Dave Peterson" wrote: Just one more thing to check (and it's a wild guess).
