We have shapes added to a spreadsheet that are assigned to macros. If you print the spreadsheet or go into print preview, the shapes start flashing when you return to home. The original spreadsheet was created in version 2003 and we are now on 2010. Any suggestions?

I automate production of a large number of charts. In this proces I need to record macros editing chart formatting. I can do it only in Excel 2003. I cannot find this mechanism in Excel 2007 or 2010. Could you help ?

I have office 2003, in excel I have a document that has taken 3 weeks to create. Something happened and now I have a blank grey screen, until I do a print preview. It is ALL THERE in print preview but not in normal or page break views. How can I get my document back to normal?

Wow you saved my life with the stupid dashed lines in normal view… what a stupid feature, you would think when you switched back to normal view it was because you were done using the page break!!!!!

Regarding the Excel 2007 blue screen try this:

Log on as an administrator
Rename the user profile that is having problems to .OLD
Log on again to create a new profile
Check Excel -- working now?
Copy over profile data such as desktop, my doc's, and favorites

Working now??

Thanks! Those annoying dotted lines after the page break previews were driving me nuts! Great post and great Excel blog.

@Ashish

Not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but I think you want nested if's. =IF(A1=B1,"D",IF(ISBLANK(B1),"WIP","P")). This is a stab in the dark, because as you have it, the result for a non-blank, unequal value is both "P" and "NO." You can't have a cell be two values at once.
