Call in the cavalry -- need help solving this thread

[jwright650]

Got one here that I'm not sure what to do with....

Romper,
thanks for helping me out in that thread.

Can anyone offer any thoughts on this:

http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...-new-page.html

If I view the doccument on my laptop with 2007 it's OK; if I view it, also on my laptop, with 2003 there's a blank page.

It looks to me like 2003 doesn't like the watermark but the OP is using 2007 and it's a 2007 format extension.

Thanks

TMS,
The file opens for me in XL2003 and the watermark(rectangle shapes) are not visible, but when I look at the print preview they are there(I didn't try to print it).

The file opens for me in XL2010 also but the watermarks are visible in the regular Excel view and in print preview.



Edit: added print to pdf from XL 2003
Edit#2:added print to pdf from XL 2010

This gets even more strange ... your 2003 print has only one page, complete with watermark yet the 2010 print has two pages, the second having only the watermark.

I'm beginning to think this has something to do with printer drivers. My default printer is an HP 4100 Series Mono Laser Printer. But I don't know if that has any bearing on what the .pdf file looks like.

Interesting how much bigger the 2010 based pdf file is.

Thanks for your efforts.

Hi, I'm a bit pressed for time. Work is getting in the way, dang. Can someone take a look at this: http://www.excelforum.com/excel-char...ting-cell.html
Cell is updated via web query every minute. Needs a macro to append each value change to a table, so the history of the value can be charted.

thanks

This one has me beaten.

http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...-in-cells.html

I worked in the window/door manufacturing for some time and thought the sheets would be easy to follow, but it seems to me that the language is a Croatian/Bosnian dialect or Tech-Speak, I did my best to translate through Google translate, but there are to many terms it cannot handle and I can't guess at.

The sheets and the question asked don't seem to match.

Anybody able to understand the language might be able to help. Zbor?

Could someone with a mac and 2008 try downloading the file in this thread Post #8

http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...down-menu.html

The OP thinks it has slowed drastically, but it seems fine to me and others.

If you could just check the drop-downs in column AA orange cells for speed and post your findings in the thread.

Cheers
Alistair

Thanks for the help out romperstomper

No worries - we don't have many Mac users that I know of, so I thought I'd take a look.

Re: Post #67 & "sum of all "L" in cells "
Well done and thanks NBVC I got in a real mess with that one, and I thought I knew the business!

[NBVC]

You are welcome... I was getting close to calling it quits too....

When there is a language barrier I try to focus on pictures and try to make sense of it....

[Marcol]

@ NBVC
Aye, I would have approached the problem from another angle.
Use a CAD system to generate the parameters and graphics, say AutoCAD, and then feed to Excel, to ask the questions, from there it's a dawdle.
I can't believe that someone in that industry doesn't use CAD first.
