Hi,

I’m having trouble getting something to print from Excel 2004. Print preview within Excel shows perfect representation of what is on screen, but Print Preview within the printer software, Canon MP150 (and saving as pdf and printing hard copies) show misaligned type, figures in accounts columns overprinting onto text and some formats (underlining rules, etc) missing completely. It’s a standard accounting form that we want to use throughout our company and those using Excel on PC report no problems, but my G4 Powerbook (Running OSX 10.4.11) can’t seem to get it to work, no matter what.

Can anyone help?

Thanks, Nirado

Well, found others have had similar issues, and changed Print Quality to FINE and seems to have fixed it!

So, thanks to the techos out there!

Try changing the Print Quality in File/Page Setup
