    Print Preview different than original document

    Hello,

    I have an excel document, I have made one cell very big and have typed text into in and formatted it to be on three lines/paragraphs, but when I click "Print Preview" the text is a little different - one line is moved out of center and it prints that way, while on the original document/file it remains as it should.

    Try print area to set the area for printing .
    Given the code for setting print area and print preview. Assign this macro to a print button.
    Sub Print_Sheet()
    '
    ' Print_Sheet Macro
    Set Sh = ActiveSheet
    Set range1 = ActiveSheet.Range("Print_Area")
    With Sh.PageSetup
    .Zoom = False
    .FitToPagesWide = 1
    .FitToPagesTall = 1
    End With
    range1.Printpreview

    End Sub
    Firstly set print area from Page layout tab then run this macro.

    Instead of using Wrap Text Use Alt+Enter to separate the lines inside the cell.

    Because Wrap Text will auto align the text which may be the root cause of this problem
