When I go to print a worksheet it automatically defaults to 9 copies. How do
I change this so it will go back to only printing 1? It's only one specific
file that has this problem.

Thank you!
 
Hi,
When you say automatically is that with a macro, unless the macro specify #
of copies the default in excel is 1
 
There do not appear to be any macros in this workbook. When I go to the print
screen the number listed in "number of copies" is 9. In any other workbook,
the default has always been 1. I can't figure out what's different about this
particular file.
 
Hi,
So try this
go to Control Panel, Printer and Faxes or Printers, then right click in the
mouse on the printer you are using, Printing preferences and see there is the
default is as 9
 
The printer's default is showing up as 1 copy. This problem only happens in
Excel and only with this one specific workbook.
 
Sorry,
I don't have other suggestion

If you change it to 1 then re-save and close the workbook what occurs next
time you open the workbook?

This drove me nuts forever! In the sheet that's giving you problems, select
File and Page Setup. Click on the Options button. Select the Page Layout tab,
and in the upper left adjust the default number of copies back down to one.
