It there a way to check if a cell is outside the printable area?

Say, if the user set the printable area to columns A to G, and the macro
find a value in a cell in column H.

I would then like to mark that cell with a different background color - but
only cells outside the printable area, which has contents.


TIA,

TIA,

Try looking at the Intersect() function:

<air code
If Not Intersect(cell, Range("Print_Area") Then 'shade it

Go up in the upper left portion (the left edge) of the formula bar
where the cell name or named range appears, and type in "Print_Area".
When you enter a named range in that box, the screen jumps to that range.
The current print area is always named that, so... type it in.

Cool. I see lots of possibilities with that function.
