Hi Jess,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Did you figure out what the box was?

Sometimes a 'print area' box can appear when you print, or do a print preview; indicating the page breaks or what will be printed.

If it's not this, a screen capture may help us figure out what it is.
To capture the entire screen, press Command+Shift+3.
To capture part of a screen, press Command+Shift+4.
(These are then stored on your desktop as new image files).


Attach the pictures/s to an e-mail and send to forum AT microsofttraining.net. Please quote the URL of this forum post so we can track down this post.

If you figured out what the box was, I'm sure your fellow delegates and forum readers would love to know what it was (and please mark this question as 'resolved').

Regards, Rich

Excel tip:

Ctrl+d's double life

Suppose I have a formula in B1 that I wish to copy into B2:B10. I can select B1:B10 then press Ctrl+d to copy the formula down the selected range. Users generally ignore this shortcut in favour of double-clicking on the fill handle to copy down, but Ctrl+d is useful sometimes particularly when there is no data in surrounding columns to guide to how far the double-click method should copy formulae.

Ctrl+d has another use though. When I use the drawing toolbar to draw objects such as Text Boxes, Rectangles and Ovals onto a worksheet, Ctrl+d makes an instant duplicate of selected shapes. For example, I need five Text Boxes the same size. I draw one Text box and adjust it to the size I want, select it, then press Ctrl+d four times to get four identical copies.
