Page SetUp Print Problems

A friend has a spreadsheet that is giving him some problems. We go to
Page Break Preview and the sheet is 2 pages wide. My friend wanted to
make 1 page wide so we dragged the blue line to the right to make it
one page. Excel, instead of doing that, made it 20 or more pages. We
went to the Page Setup and noticed that Excel had changed the scaling
down to 10%. We wanted it to be 1 page wide by 6 pages long so we put
that info in but Excel did not accept it. We thought maybe something
was wrong with the sheet itself so we selected all the cells and
cut/paste them into a new sheet - but it still gives us the same
problems. Everytime we go to adjust the page setings, it creates mroe
pages instead of reducing everything into one.

My friend then emailed me the spreadsheet and when I looked at it,
there was no problems at all. It was set up as 1 sheet wide by 6
sheets long. I saved the spreadsheet and emailed it back to him as an
attachment to see what that would do. Unfortunately, It still has the
same problems.

Does anybody have any suggestions/thoughts?

Thanks,

Just a guess...

It kind of sounds like the printer driver. If he changes printers, does the
problem go away?
