thanks. I did find the settings to print the grid. it's just a bit odd imo that it by default was off. I've never known anyone who was using a spreadsheet and DIDN'T want the grid printed out. That's pretty much WHY they use spreadsheets FOR the grid.
and thanks for the userprofile information. that will be helpful once I experiment with it a bit. -- Wolfkin http://about.me/wolfkin On Thu, May 10, 2012 at 6:02 AM, Tom Davies <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi :) > You can just copy&paste the UserProfile to different machines to set > things up the same without going through each individual setting.
