Excel resizes margins based on printers

I've run into this before but I just resize and go on, however the people I support freak out about this and I have to agree with the not so computer literate on this one.

When an excel form/spreadsheet is created and it is pretty much the whole page being used, the page is created, printed, tested, etc. However, when say a person in a different part of the office prints to their printers of different brands, makes, the excel margins resize themselves to print that last column onto a second page. This throws them in a tizzy of hate emails to the originator of the spreadsheet.

My first thought is a small training session on excel printing, but like all things, they just don't grasp it and demand I make it work being the resident geek.

I've tried searching the web/forums for a solution but it's either there and I'm not searching the right criteria or this is pretty unique.

Can someone help me with this one?

Thanks,
Rog...
 



Hi,

Well that's just how different printer drivers work.

However, you can File > Page Setup - PAGE Tab to "Fit to:" whatever you want.

Skip,
