============
This document contains information about installing and using the Print
Selection Add-In for Microsoft Excel v5 and v7.
History
-------
The idea for the Print Selection Add-In came to me whilst I was writing a
Spreadsheet to colate and calculate manpower costs at different labour rates
The problem "Print Selection" overcomes is not being able to print
non-contiguous ranges of cells to a single sheet.
This can be illustrated as follows:-
+------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+
| Code | 01/01/95 | 08/01/95 | 15/01/95 | 22/01/95 | 29/01/95 | 05/02/95 |
+------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+
| 111 | ú1.00 | | | | | |
| 222 | | ú2.00 | | | ú2.00 | |
| 333 | | ú3.00 | | ú2.00 | ú2.00 | |
| 444 | | | ú2.00 | | | ú1.50 |
| 555 | | | | ú2.00 | | ú3.50 |
| 666 | | | | | | |
+------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+
Suppose you wanted a printout of the above table for the week 15/01/95 and
week 22/01/95 but you want the code column to cross reference to!
If you select the columns in question and then use the normal Excel print
command, the code column prints on a sepperate sheet!, not very useful!
"Print Selection" overcomes this problem.
History
-------
Version 1.0 - Not a public issue.
Version 1.1 - Public Release late 1995
Made user friendly.
Version 1.2 - Released March 1996
Bug Fix - did not correctly copy cells if they were resized.
Bug Fix - A number of Excelv7 Problems caused by subtle changes in the Excel code.
Added on-line registration feature, allowing user to disable the Nag-Screen.
Installation
------------
The installation process is detailed below.
It is the same for both Excel v5 and Excelv7
1) Open Microsoft Excel.
2) Create a New borkbook.
3) From the "Tools" Menu select "Add-Ins..."
4) Select "Browse..."
5) Locate the file "PRINTSEL.XLA" and press "OK"
6) Select "Yes" to copy the Add-In to Library
Using "Print Selection"
-----------------------
Print Selection has been written to be seamless to the user.
There have been no menu additions to activate the command. The "File"
"Print..." command has been redirected.
To show it working, create a spreadsheet with a few cells completed.
e.g. Put "A" in cell A1, "B" in cell B1 etc and copy down a few lines.
Select cell A1 only, Select "Print...", the normal print dialog should
appear. Press "Cancel".
Select cells A1:A3 then press Ctrl whilst selecting cells C1:C3. This is a
non-contiguous range. Select "Print...", the "Print Selection" dialog box
should appear.
