Excel page break not working
On the Page Layout tab of the ribbon, click the little arrow in the lower right corner of the Page Setup group.
In the Page tab of the Page Setup dialog, check whether the sheet has been set up to fit into 1 page wide by 1 page tall.
In the Sheet tab of this dialog, check whether a print area has been specified.
HansVogelaar It looks like you’ve been very helpful, not just to me but to others with similar problems. Surely that’s a fault with Excel if the obvious page break settings can be in conflict with, and be overruled by, some hidden settings?
Spydah Perhaps Excel should display a warning if you try to specify conflicting settings, but I don't think it's a bug. The default setting for Width and Height is automatic. It requires manual intervention to change them to (for example) 1 page wide by 2 pages tall. By doing so, one effectively tells Excel to override other pagination settings...
Yes I agree. Some message to indicate the existing over-ride would be quite helpful.HansVogelaar
