Solved: HELP! OS XP; Excel 2002, "Margins Do Not Fit Page Size" error
Two days ago the below scenario started with one end-user and now 2 end-users have the same error.

Excel seems to be corrupted. It will not recognize margins, page breaks, and other formatting features. The error pops up when you try to print or print preview a worksheet or workbook. It occurs when working with exported data, fresh data, and previously created documents.

You cannot over ride the formatting. The page break preview looks like the attached. Every cell is marked as a new page.

Thank you for your help!

"End-users" -- so ... the app is on a server. (?)

You could try re-registering. With Excel closed, go Start > Run -- type:

excel.exe /regserver

, click OK.

Thank you for your help but apparently the problem was caused by a corrupt printer driver. Everyone who had the same driver started experiencing similar issues.

Craziness!
