    Print Graphics in Colour, but not Cell Backgrounds


    In my spreadsheet, I have given background colours to a few cells. I also have a coloured graphic on every sheet of the workbook.

    Since I don't want to print the cell backgrounds, I have chosen to print the sheet in Black&White from the Page Setup menu. But that also prints the graphic in B&W.

    So, is there a workaround where I can avoid printing the cell backgrounds, but still print the graphic in colour?

    Thanks in advance.

    depends on why the cells are shaded one way is to select the area to print and apply a conditional format of say =Z1="P" and choose no fill
    then before you print put a "P" in Z1

    Thanks Mate,

    Will give it a go and see, if the idea is as practical as it is good.

    Regards.
