That’s what I am trying to do, it is really simple to print two page as columns using the multi page option, but if you put a header or footer on it, it applies to the page, not the paper so you get one for each column. If I move it to Word I lose my sort capabilities. unless I’m missing something! Thanks for your reply

Yes, I can link it, but it isn’t formatted the way I need to have it done. The object is that I want to be able to sort the file all together and have it then print in two columns. I can’t get the formatting to work correctly using the entire file. In Excel it ends up being six pages long, and three pages printed with two pages per page. I have played with Word, but can’t figure out an easy way to build in flexibility. I don’t want to cut and paste numerous portions of the file! I’m still working on it though! Thanks for your input. Am now working on the angle of using section/column breaks in Word.

Thanks for your reply. I guess I didn’t word that last comment right! I realize that you can’t pull from multiple records by seeing the other fields & John Smith only once. What I really was trying to say is let me see smith only once even if its in the database six times. You idea on including only the fields where there are known duplications might work and also the thought of a report suppressing duplicates. Thanks much, Judy

Unfortunately, the user and computer have disappeared temporarily. The laptop does have Win XP Pro. I did test the window accessability high contrast on another Win XP computer and it does mimic what is happening. When I disabled the high contrast setting everything went back to normal. That seems to do it unless the user needs to have the high contrast enabled to do her work.

As far as we can tell, there’s only this one problem; however, this is an end-user computer and we are the support staff. We trust that if there were other problems we’d be informed. So, yes, as near as we can tell PowerPoint has the only problem and it’s only with the color default..

Thanks for checking on the Office Updates!

The computer is defaulting to High Contrast.

Several other computers have the same monitor. They default to color view.

The problem computer’s High Contrast view occurs whether it is plugged into the docking station or not.

It is a Dell Inspiron 8100 Laptop computer in a docking station with a NEC Multisync LCD 1700V monitor. The video is Nvidia GeForce2 GO (Dell Mobil), 16mb VRAM. Could this problem be from the latest Office updates?

It defaults to Greyscale View whenever PPT is launched. Our question is: How do we default to the Color View? As it is now, it defaults to the High Contrast View. I have attached a screen print (JPEG) of what I am working with.
