The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, version 4.0

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, use of the scaling option may result in the appearance of duplicated information in Print Preview or on a printed page. The following workarounds are available for this situation:

  1. Make use of printer scaling options, if they are available.

  2. Adjust the Reduction/Enlargement to a different scaling percentage. Change the scaling amount from 95% to 94% for example.

  3. Copy the cells to a new worksheet.

MORE INFORMATION

In Microsoft Excel, the Scaling options appear in the lower right of the Page Setup dialog box. Printer scaling options, if available, appear in the upper left of the Page Setup dialog.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post more information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
