Arrghh!

This happened after a re install before and I cant remember how it was
fixed.

OSX 10.3.9 Excel vX

In Page Set Up, button Options...
The 3rd button is rotated landscape.
I can select this and close the window,
but on reopen it is back to landscape , the 2nd option.

Selecting the third option and viewing the Summary
displays 'Orientation: Rotated Landscape',
but when I close the box and reopen,
it is set back to 'Landscape' (the 2nd button).
The rotated landscape does not stick.
The printer is an Apple LaserWriter 16/600 PS, a standard PostScript.
The setup in PrintCenter is OK.
MS Word keeps the rotation in the document stored without a problem.
I need this for landscape printing on letterhead paper.
I like the heading on the right hand side.

Works with Word. Why not excel?

Thanks

JM

Hi JM,

This is a general limitation of Excel that Microsoft is aware of.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any good workarounds. You mentioned that this
has happened before after a re-install. Are you saying that this was working
for you before?

Thanks,

Pat

I think in 5 years MacOffice will be history

and MS will be marketing a package of a virtual machine running MS
windows and the standard MS Office seamlessly on the intel Mac

My own (very low budget) next office purchase will be the next Star
Office update to run on WinXP and Parallels
