I'm sorry, but I don't understand your scenario. Could you give more
details? Are you saying that only a single column prints out, regardless of
column width? Or is this a scenario where you have a very wide column and
you want to print more than just one column? Also, can you please give me
the model of the Epson printer you're printing to? Do you have access to
another printer, and if so, do you see the problem on that printer too?

If you have a file that shows the problem, feel free to email that to me
too: patmcmil.RemoveThis@microsoft.com.

Thanks,

Pat

Even though I insert page breaks manually, it is still wrong when I try to print out. Even the "Fit to" does not work. This is really bad :angry:

With all do respect - removing page break preview is a disaster. its
impossible to get docs to print they way I want. Before I just moved
lines now im trying to insert page breaks, then file print preview
(this is nonsense also)

There is an old saying - leave well enough alone!!

clearly whomever removed these 2 features does not use excel for
business on a daily basis

I miss page break preview and print preview, too.

I encourage everyone who is pissed about the lack of page break preview (as I certainly am) to send a message to their development team by clicking on help (when you are in excel) and then Send Feedback about Excel. I am livid about this, as it makes the forms I have worked hard to create basically unusable. How can they call this product excel with so many important features missing??

See my reply to your other post - there's no reason the forms should be
unusable.
