Thank you for your suggestion.
I have checked and I am not set to 'draft' but to '600 dpi' which is the
highest my laser printer gives.
I also tried turning on the 'gridlines' but it doesn't seem to make any
difference.
The strange thing is that last year I was using Excel 2003 and I didn't have
any problems printing.
Cheers,
Noel
