I created a spreadsheet for several people to use in Excel 2010 SP1. On one PC, it stopped printing all of the words in the cell leaving out a few characters. The cell is large enough for the data that is there and there is no special formatting.

The PC that it prints from prints the same way leaving out the same characters each time on multiple printers. Another PC in the same office prints it perfectly as does mine. I thought this was some setting that may have gotten changed and after searching most of the day yesterday I sitll don't have a clue. There is nothing that I can find that simply says "restore defaults". I have even remoted into that PC from my office and printed it to my printer in my office. Same results.

I have ran a repair installation (of Office) 2 times, uninstalled and reinstalled one time, and uninstalled removed all registry entries that I could find searching Excel/Office and reinstalled all to no avail. Same words leaving off the same letters. (Example, "Shift" prints as "Shi", "This Shift Supervisor" prints as "This Shi Supervisor", "Amiee" prints as Aiee" and so on.)

Other Excel documents are doing the same thing. It is consistent though. It leaves out the same letters on the same document on each printer it uses.

If anyone has ran across this before, please let me know.

Thanks.

If particular characters are affected, that suggests font corruption on the problem PC. Uninstalling, then reinstalling the problem fonts may resolve the fault.

Thanks a million macropod. I haven't had time to repiar the font yet, but I changed it on the doc and all is well.

If I could give you 100 stars, I would. I have less hair left after the last few days. :)

Thanks again.
