Excel Suddenly Crashing on Print Preview
It did happen to me a while back but appears to have fixed itself
Can you try using the Print Preview icon I've added to the toolbar on the attached file
Does that cause a crash also?
I downloaded the sheet you created. I don't see any print preview button other than the one i have in my custom toolbar, but the sheet crashes when I use that one or the one under the print option.
I did just notice if i use the hotkeys Ctrl/F2, I get a different screen back under the File Tab that doesn't crash, but that's a much inferior view.
If Excel is crashing on multiple computers, it must be something that MicroSoft has done. I will try the repair install when I get a chance, but there have got to be a slew of folks around the world with the same issue.
What version do you have? My wife and I have 1805 Build 9330.2087. OffCat says it's the latest version
- I run my main machine on the older Semi-Annual channel version 1708 (August 2017 update) as it avoids some of the bugs you experience by being on the up to date Monthly channel.
How do I get off of the monthly updates? My last one seems to have been 5/30, about the time this started.....
I'd try the repair feature via add / remove programs - Modify
Try the Quick Repair first, and if that doesn't work give the Online Repair a go
- I tried this, but no improvement. I suspect that the program is not broken but that the last patch is defective. Agree?
I use a print preview icon on a custom toolbar that I created for frequently used functions, if that's what you mean. It happens either way.
- Did you try the print preview icon in the file I attached? It may be different to the one you use. It's what I used to use to avoid the crash.
