print view & print, in excel, different size cells

[Guest]

When I print (or view preview print) sometimes information that is in a cell
is cut off, or extended. While I am working on the page I formate the cell
how I want it, like say I have the word "Coummunity" in the First cell and
have it formated to center or wrap or shrink to fit..... I stretch the cell
so the whole word will fit, but when I print it, it might have Coummuni on
one line and ty wrapped. Or if I have two or three words in a cell that is
formated to wrap and while I am looking at it all three words are stacked,
the way I want them, say on three lines, but when it is printed it is wrong.
Sometimes while adding the data, I havent gotten it fromated right yet, But
on the print preview it is fine????

WYSIWYG ain't necessarily true.

I think the only way you'll know for sure is to look at the hardcopy.

And to make matters worse, a different user could have a different printer and
the hardcopy could be different.

Can you make the rowheight or columnwidth larger to cover worse case -- or
change the font size to something smaller?

That is true - though I have never seen it written that way "WYSIWYG"

I never had this probablem before and have been using excel (office
products) for years. It is inportant for what I see on the screen to be what
I see in the print view, And of course what is printed. Yes changing the
font size or the cell size does make a difference.

It's a pretty common term:

I know of no way to ensure what you want.
