Hi,

I¹m 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. It¹s 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) can¹t 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
