EXcel 2003 Page setup slow

[Ian]

When I need to format the worksheet, the page setup functions takes about 8
secs to load. The same in page preview, any alterations to formats take the
same time. Previous version '97 was less that a split second. Help I can't
work this way.

I'm guessing that it slows down to go to the printer driver to see how things
should be laid out.

You may want to try getting a fresh printer driver (from the manufacturer's
site).

Or installing a new printer that points at a local printer--even if you don't
have that physical printer.

Thanks. Excel was looking at remote printer. You were right first time.
