Object Shapes Move When Printed
Feb 8, 2008
I make a lot of charts that have text boxes, or autoshapes in them. Often, the text boxes will be shifted in print preview. Even if they look right in print preview, they some times shift when being printed.
WYSIWYG, doesn't seem to apply
I've noticated that when viewing the spread sheet normally if I change the amount of zoom the text boxes/autoshapes will appear to move around, but what ever the position is for a given zoom amount, it will be same everytime.
Is there a "magic" zoom level that will display what will be printed, or are there some other tips to What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get in excel?

I am developing a multiple sheet workbook with lots of shapes - with another person. The shapes are moving if he opens the file when I save it and they also move when I open the file after he saves it. So, I coded in the beforesave function, I save .top and .left position of every shape to a hidden sheet. On workbook open, I re-position all Shapes based on their saved locations. Both of our screens are set to the same resolution... What I think it is - display scale. His is set to 100%, and mine is set to 125%! Anyway to adjust for this? I cannot find out how to find / change the display scale with vba.

Im trying to create shapes Rectangles and Squares with different colours within an excel sheet, where the length and height of the shapes is generated by input values.
Also is it possible to create 3D shapes, again where the size of the shap is generated by input cell values.

My spreadsheet is a dual purpose spreadsheet, it is my printable catalog of product offerings as well as my worksheet for my cost and my cost markup. I have apx 2500 rows of product offerings.
My question -I would like to be able to print my catalog without my cost markup columns being printed. It is not practical for me to hide the column, then print, then unhide the column again every time I want to print out my catalog. I would like the columns to always be visible, but just not print.

I'm getting the following error:
"Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found"
I wasn't getting that error last night and I'm not sure what I may have done to cause this error.
It seems to be cause by code running on one sheet of my workbook, but I'm not really sure about that. I'm still a bit of a novice at VBA.
I'm using Excel 2002 SP3 and I'm running MS XP Home as my OS.
Do you have any ideas what can cause this error and/or how to trace down the offending objects/code?

I have this question for indentifying the last row (number) for each and every page to be printed.
As I am using a loop to determine the last row of the table in each print page, I am only able to do in "hard coded". And with this "hard-coded" row number, I can set bordering to the table so that table will not be printed without any border (for in between pages if table is more than a page)
But the problem is that I had discovered that once any other user start using wrap text, or even change the row height, the macro will still captures the pre-determined no. of rows to do the bordering (as shown in my code).
In my, I had restricted the zoom size so that the quotation will always be the same format. Hence, based on this control zoom, the printable page changes if the row height changes too.
With destSh.PageSetup
.PrintArea = "$A1:$H" & LastR
.PrintTitleRows = "$1:$21"
.Zoom = 62
' .FitToPagesWide = 1
' .FitToPagesTall = 8
.PrintErrors = xlPrintErrorsDisplayed
.RightFooter = "&8Last Saved : " & _
Format(ThisWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Last Save Time"), _
"yyyy-mmm-dd hh:mm:ss")
.CenterFooter = "Page &P of &N"...................

Is there a way to 'lock' a page from being changed once it has been printed? It can be printed multiple times but want it to not be able to be edited once it has been printed. Thinking I could have a control button on the page maybe and once it has been checked ok to print then click the button and it saves it as is and uneditable?

We have some reports on multiple worksheets. We need to ensure a legend/definition sheet is printed whenever one or several of the worksheets are printed. Is it possible to mandate a worksheet to be printed along w/ whatever else is being printed?

I would like to print a excel sheet and each time I print this sheet
a new number would be place on that printed sheet.
Like a invoce number.
So if I would print 50 sheets it could be number from 1 to 50 on each sheet
or if I printed 10 sheets it would be number from 1 to 10?

I have spent some time looking through the forum and even looked at Microsoft Excel help file and cannot seem to get exactly what I need. I have worksheets that I found the code on this site that I can put page breaks every so many rows. I have it set for 26 so it will break for every 25 counting the header. Here is the
Sub PageBreaks()
For I = 27 To 760 Step 25
ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks.Add Before:= Range("A" & I)
Next I
End Sub
The problem I am having is when I print the first page it has the headers in them, for example.
LastName, FirstName, StuID, GrdLvl
How can I get a row placed right after each page break with with the column headers so each sheet I print will have the headers with the 25 rows of informatio. But then not be there after I print so If I need to sort I won't have a problem with all the headers.

Many people use Excel to generate forms that will be printed off and carried around on a sheet of paper, because the boxes and lines are nice and square, and straight, Word is not so co-operative
There have been lots of queries how to auto-number such forms, so that you can later file or issue them in a particular order, or use the numbers later as a reference doing other stuff.
Here's what I want to do:
I run a limousine service taking clients from places like hotels to various destinations
I have a little travel voucher form, to be filled by hand, 3 copies to a sheet, so we are gonna print them, and cut the page into 3 lil vouchers. Like printing lottery or competition tickets. The vouchers have artwork to suit the place requesting my service.
They are NOT invoices, to be opened, numbered, worked on, and THEN printed
Cell G2 will start autonumbering at 1001, Cell G18 would be 1002, Cell G34 would be 1003, then when the second page prints, we get 1004, 1005, and 1006 respectively. Each sheet has to be individually cut and stacked
Alternately, we decide a quantity to print (50) and start G18 at say 1050 and G34 at 1101. This would be better, because when cutting the paper up with a guillotine, the first 50 vouchers are already in number order, the 2nd 50 get stacked under them, and finally the 3rd 50 below that, so now my stack of vouchers runs from 1001 to 1150 nice and easy and neat
A drawback with this is that I have to do specific print runs and somewhere in the document, specify the starting number for G2
I have heard of a method to print, say 20 forms, starting say, 1001, ending 1020 and a text file saves the last number used, so the next print run picks up from there, at 1021, can that method be combined in? I'm working in a small office that needs these vouchers but we dont wanna have a commercial printshop tool up (big $) to do small print runs
I can also do the vouchers for other suppliers to use with different artwork

I have a document that I need to track all changes to. I have a macro running perfectly right now that tracks all of the content changes to the form. What I am wondering is if I can add something that would also record when a copy is printed and the user that makes the copy. Here is the code I have right now:
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Revisions").Unprotect Password:="Hm72K9"
If ActiveSheet.Name = "Revisions" Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
[Code] .....

Would it be possible to have a unique number appear on every indivually printed sheet?
My worksheet in Excel fits onto one sheet of paper and I would like a unique number to appear whenever I print, even after closing system and re-opening file at a later date (the last printed sheet is 'remembered' so the next printed sheet is the next number in sequence).
So the first time I print a batch of say 100 I would have 100 x identical pages EACH with a unique number, i.e., '0001' to '0100'. The next time I print another 50 say, I would have '0101' to '0150' and so on.

In A1 I have the time (military h:mm) 8:00
In B1 I have the 30 min braek we take at work 0.30
in C1 the end of shift time (16:00)
In D1 total hours (formula : = sum(C1-A1)-B1
and it is OK EXCEPT if the employee has the day off.
In that case A1 and C1 are empty but because of B1 I get in D1 the terrible ####
How can I remedy this ... this sheet cannot be edited in anyway. ( I cannot delete or edit anything)
Thought of an IF but the #### are not a value so I cannot do much in the way of conditional fprmats ... how not to show these #### when the sheet is printed.

I have a selected area which I print as labels.
I want to have a number on this label preferably counting back from the quantity of print.
So if I select 300 copies to print, the first label shows somewhere 300, the 2nd label 299, the third 298 and so on.
I use a button and macro for printing selected labels, so perhaps the reverse printing could be added there if only counting up is available.
Also to make it easier, a cell on the sheet can contain the number to count down from (this is preferred on thinking about it) So I could then print 20 labels from 300 to 280 say.

I have a macro that prints all documents that are found in a directory, i was thinking that it should be possible to modify this macro to count both number of documents as well as the pages that are printed, and display the count once the documents are sent for printing.
The Code:
Start of Code:
Sub ListDocNamesInFolder()
Dim sMyDir As String
Dim sDocName As String
sMyDir = "C:My Documents"
sDocName = Dir(sMyDir & "*.DOC")

I have a print macro that runs from a command button, when I use it the workbook goes to the sheet printed. Can I somehow make the workbook go back to a sheet of my choice? Here is the macro, The command button is on a sheet called Control Center, can I return to that sheet or stay at that sheet when I print?
Code:
Sub Button16_Click()
Sheets("OBS1").Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
End Sub
