i have a notebook running on Windows 98SE, installed with
Office 2000 Standard. When i launched Excel, the print
icon is greyed out. When i go to File -> all the 4 print
functions (print setup, print preview, print area & print)
are greyed out as well. what i can do is to press Ctrl-P
to print the Excel spreedsheet. I had even removed and
reinstall Office 2000, but the problem still persist.
Could anyone help me out?

Desperately...

Only a guess, mind... but are you certain that you have at least one
printer correctly installed on the notebook? (I can't recall whether
the print commands are actually disabled if there's no printer
installed, but it would seem to be a possibility.)

You may want to try reinstalling your printer driver either way.
 
Hi Dylan

Did you try my answer in your other thread??


Try to rename your .xlb file

maybe this is a corrupt or bloated toolbar file
*normal* size is < 30 kb.
The .xlb file has all Toolbar customization in it.

Close Excel
Do a search for .xlb in windows
Rename the file you found (mine is named Excel10.xlb in 2002)
Start Excel

Deleting the file or renaming will do no harm on your system
Excel will create a new one for you.
(You lost your customization remember that)

If you make your own toolbars or add buttons to the others
This file is important (backup it so you can restore it)
