the only way I can get the gridlines to appear in the print preview (& on the actual printout) is to have 'row & column headings' (1,2,3,....A,B,C,etc) checked, but I don't want them to print out.

if i have it unchecked then only SOME of the gridlines show in the print preview. Ditto if I have none of the options checked or only 'gridlines' checked - different sets of gridlines visible & if I check 'draft quality' only, then none of the gridlines appear in print preview regardless of what other options I've selected

confused? join the club!!

the strange thing (well, one of the strange things) is that a colleague printed the same sheets without the row & column headings (different printer). knowing her, she's got default settings
  1. Is there some interaction between different printer models & excel's own settings/options?
  2. How can i get round the problem i've described above?
please help while i've still got some hair left!! :-)

Thanks, Jeff
