Ciao!

Wuold anyone know why the print is missing some contents of the cell?

I have excel XP. I am using "wrap text" and format/row/autofit for the
cell. Everything looks fine on worksheet. When I check the print
preview the text in cell is not complete (the fonts are cut from the
middle). The print looks the same as the preview.

My font is Verdana with size 10, so it shouldn't be too big or small.
My text on cell is:
"abcde fghij abcde fghij
abcde fghij abcde fghij
abcde fghij abcde fghij
abcde fghij"

This shouldn't be bigger than 1,024 characters. I guess Verdana is
trueType font.

I have checked every thing I can imagine. What am I missing? Thanks.

My suggestion would have been to try another font but, as you correctly
stated before, Verdana is a TT font and so should be okay. Perhaps it's
worth trying something else just in case you have an iffy font installed?

Thank you for your advices. You are right about changing font. This
really only happens with Verdana font. I am just trying to solve the
real reason for the problem, because our company is using Verdana in
all the documents. I am the administrator, so there is no more help
coming from there either. =D

Perhaps a silly question, but have you tried resintalling the Verdana font?
I'm not an expert on this by any means, but I would guess that if changing
the font solves the problem then perhaps it has been inadvertantly replaced
by a bitmap version, for example. My thinking is that if the chosen font is
causing a problem but theoretically shouldn't then there must be something
wrong with it, rather than anything being wrong with Excel itself. If you
have no success with reinstalling Verdana then I don't think I can be much
help, sorry.

Sorry this took a while.

I tried this one. I uninstalled the original font and installed the
Verdana again. It didn't have any effect. I checked the both original
and new verdana.ttf files and at least my Windows XP seems to think
that they are both files for true type font. Any other ideas, folks?
