Excel 2013 Question

Post by DukieInKansas » November 24th, 2015, 8:36 pm

OK - this is driving me nuts. I've searched online and haven't found an answer so I'm turning to my crazietalk friends. I just got a new computer at work and am now Using Microsoft Office Home and Business 2013. When I use Print Preview, the preview of the page doesn't fit on the screen. So I need to scroll down to see the bottom of the page I'm previewing, which makes the print button at the top go out of view. This happens with files started in the new version of Excel and those files created in Excel 2010 and opened in 2013. Office 2010 is not on the computer.

Any ideas on how I can get this to stop? Everything else appears as usual in Excel, once I got rid of the new features I didn't like (backstage cough cough). This is not happening in Word.


Thanks!

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Thanks. I had seen that method but thought I had done it since I had put the Preview and Print button on my Quick Access Toolbar. SO I put the Print Preview Full Screen button there and it works. It just puts the Print button and settings buttons that were on the left of the screen across the top and in a different format. The Preview and Print button works as expected on the other new computes that were installed at the same time. Sometimes, I just want to bop Bill Gates on the back of his head, a la Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

To add to the mystery, if I use Ctrl-P or File, Print - I get the view with the print button and settings on the left and only part of the page visible. I need to scroll down to see the bottom of the page. It is almost like it thinks my monitor is set up for portrait instead of landscape.
