Can’t Edit/View or Page Setup in Excel when no printer present

[springer]

I am currently working on my Excel docs on a computer that doesn’t have a
printer attached while my computer is in the ‘shop’ for repairs, and am
unable to edit/view my headers or change my page setup. I get a message that
I don’t have a printer and can’t get any further. Does anyone know if there
is a way around this?

Not at a Mac right nowq so I may be off a little, but try going to
File>print, open the top list & choose the item "Any Printer" (The list may
be labeled as "Formt For:")

I would recommend downloading the CUPS-PDF package from:
http://www.codepoetry.net/projects/cups-pdf-for-mosx

Then, you can choose the "Virtual Printer" as your printer.

(I actually started using this nifty little utility because I had to
use AppleScript to print an Excel worksheet to a PDF - very slick.)

HTH

Did switching to "Any Printer" solve the problem for you?
