Page Breaks and Odd Behavior (Citrix UPD Driver)

[Malic]

Hello.

We are running Excel 2002 on our Citrix servers. The other day we switched
to the universal print driver for multiple printers.

I now have several people reporting weird page break problems. Excel
reports that previously had no page breaks now have like 20 or more and you
can't remove them. If you highlight the cell/row below under next to it and
do a remove or remove all page breaks it doesn't go away. However, if I do
an add page break it removes the one already there. Exact opposites.

This is causing a 1 page report to print out on 40 or so pages all chopped
up.

This doesn't happen to me if I open the file on my local computer. Is there
anyway to fix these sheets without using a different driver?

Thanks.

Page breaks and other page setup details are controlled by the printer
driver (as is the print preview). It seems that changing the driver
was the cause of your problem. You may want to have the IT people
contact Citrix about this.

Or, you may want to fire the IT people and replace them with ones who
don't put untested configurations online! ;-)
