OT - sorting and Excel workbook

Did you check your printer settings?

I just received a message about a Windows update, so went to a Vista "help" group to check it out & someone has this attached to their signature:

Parts should go together without forcing. Remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason. By all means, do not use a hammer. (1925 IBM Maintenance Manual)

I thought it suited this occasion:)

There's nothing in my printer settings that specifys whether to print in order, or random.

Karen, I've not used ASAP utilities but you may need to 'print to file' as opposed to just 'print' to get them printed the way you want. The only other think I see in Excel 2003 is when you have the print dialog box open, you can select 'entire workbook' and then go to the advanced box and print 'front to back' or 'back to front' but that's all I see. Good luck.

I'm using Excel 2007, and I don't have the print to file option. I can 'save as', but it still prints wonky. Oh well.

When you go to file / print; and the printer dialog box opens - no little check box under the properties or find printer button?

AHA! Yes, there is a print to file box there! Okay, I clicked it and selected entire workbook. It is now on my desktop. Now what?

Karen -- if you still can't get it to work -- you'll likely find help here:

msnews.microsoft.com -- a news server -- strictly Microsoft related

then microsoft.public.excel OR microsoft.public.excel misc OR microsoft.public.excel.newusers (even though you're not a "new user" -- you're new to 2007 --

I have found the Microsoft Newsgroups to be INVALUABLE in helping me solve a variety of problems.

I'm not sure how you do RCTQ (outlook express? thunderbird?) -- but you can add the microsoft newsgroup server the same way (if you need more info about it -- let me know)

and then just search the HUGE listing of individual newsgroup for Excel (or Word... or Powerpoint... ) Lots of very knowledgeable people there... and you can usually get an answer within an hour or two!

Hope this helps...
