PRoblem
"only prints partial columns!" in
MacNail construction management software
OR
"
only prints first few cells, then stops, "only first page", prints some columns but not others.
Diagnosis
(see prev. entries for other solutions)
Usually this is a Page Break problem. If you
select an area and choose Set Page Break,
XL will put page breaks around the
area, also if you do Set Print Area.
Page Breaks are identified by dashed
lines across/down the worksheet (may
be hard to see through cell formatting).
Solution
Couple of possibilities:
•
locate offending page break by looking for dashed lines. E.g. if the problem is that only
the first four columns print in the first page, the p-break is prob. between col D & E. Select from
col E through the end of the worksheet, choose Options\"Remove Page Break". This should reset
the break. If the command says "Set Page Break", you are not selecting properly.
•
show row and column headings, click on the upper left corner (left of col A, above row 1)
to select the whole worksheet, choose 'remove page breaks' from Options menu. This might remove all page
breaks (didn't work when I tried it-V)
Use Print Preview to check progress, it's faster than actually printing out the page
each time.
