MS Office Forum / Excel / Printing / June 2007printing landscape Excel documents using vista OS
I can't seem to figure it out ... If anybody knows, I'd really appreciate an answer on this. We have Excel documents that were created using an older Microsoft OS (I forget, maybe it was 2000 Windows). I open up these documents and they look fine. The landscape is selected, the page breaks are okay, the printer works fine for everything else -- but then I go to print my landscape documents, and they come out portrait! Very frustrating. I even tried creating a new document in landscape using the vista - thinking it had to do with which OS the doc was created under, and this didn't work either. Any ideas???? Please please, I'd really appreciate an answer. So many documents I use regularly are needed as landscape excel. Much thanks! Vista OS is just that...........an operating system. You did not create Excel workbooks(documents) using any Windows OS You must have had a version of Office or Excel on the earlier OS What version of Excel/Office are you running now is the key point. Does your default printer handle landscape printing is another question? Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP >I can't seem to figure it out ... If anybody knows, I'd really appreciate an >answer on this.

We are still using the Excel 2002, but now on the Vista OS. Normally the landscape printing is just fine. Seems to work for everything else (ie. word, printing from website) just fine. Excel is the problem I've specifically encountered. And it prints Excel portrait just fine too. Thanks again!

Are you sure the printer you choose in Excel under Print>Printer Name is the default printer that works with landscape in other applications?

I did find a post elsewhere online (can't remember now) where somebody was having the exact same problem. But nothing was figured out for that person either. I think it's a glitch with the vista OS. Do you think they'll issue a fix for this? Is this kind of problem something they would bother fixing? Does anyone have any idea whom I can talk to about requesting a fix???
