The "set print area" icon has been eliminated in Excel 2003. It was an
excellent feature and should be returned.

You sure it was in earlier versions -- right out of the box?

But you can add it to your favorite toolbar:
tools|Customize|commands tab|File category
scroll down the commands list looking for Set Print Area
and drag it to where you want it.

I thought I did that with earlier versions, too--but my memory ain't what it
used to be!

Your memory serves you pretty well, I just checked all versions from Excel
95 to Excel 12 beta and 12 is the only one that comes with the icon right
out of the box, of course most people will have a hard time to find it at
first since there is no fileprint area anymore <bg
