Even though I have used Page Layout to set my margins at .3 left and right, I cannot make my columns as wide as they need to be because the spreadsheet continues to print with one inch margins. I am on a deadline -- Help!
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
It could be your printer driver. I believe if your printer driver does not allow you to make your margins less than one inch, it will overwrite what you are selecting in Excel.

Do you have another printer you can try printing to?

That is a good idea, but I have never had this problem on my printer before.

I just worked out the problem though - so simple I was shagrinned (sp?)

I went into Print Preview in Excel 2007, then selected the Print Preview icon within Print Preview and then selected Page.

Finally I just selected Page Setup and Print to 1 page by 1 page.

Did you recently install a new print driver or new version of Windows?
I read recently where some old print drivers don't work well (or are even not supported) in Windows 7, so if either of those things changed, it could change the way things work.

Anyway, I'm glad you found a work around.

I will have to ask my network administrator here at the office as they are always doing updates of one sort or another.

Thanks so much!
