I'll go fix the link - Fixed, thank for telling me

Excel - help - my spreadsheet thinks it is 57 pages but is it only 3 - it has oodles of spare columns and rows which however much I delete are still there.

Valli - go tell them vibes for you

Valli

re the Excel - highlight the letters above columns (the column headers) so that all the 'empty' columns are selected , (in 2007 they go blue) do a right click then CLEAR CONTENTS
Do the same with the rows. (unless it worked when you did it with the columns, that is!)

Somewhere (on page 57 probably) there is a cell with something in it!

If that doesn't work clear the formatting the same way - you might have put a border round a cell;) though getting rid of formatting isn't quite as straightforward.

If THAT doesn't work copy the three pages worth of spreadsheet you want onto a different tab (sheet 2) and try printing that.
You can delete sheet 1 when you have got it all sorted (on sheet 2) by right clicking on the tab at the bottom of the page and hitting 'delete' SAVE IT FIRST THOUGH - just in case.

HTH

Ever the Pollyanna - I have found something to be glad about even amidst the carp I am being fed - if I am not at work on a *certain* day of the week I cannot be required to attend meetings on the *certain* day. So I won't;)

I'm off to bed now. I DO like being a flylady - ty all *mwah* and Froddy *mwah*

Dustykitten

Thanks you lovely Valli one - all fixed and sent to Head and DH - hope they appreciate the oodles of time this has taken but somehow I doubt that.

I need to get ready for bed too. League Table comparisons (bar A Levels which still need to be done) but I have an entire RAISE to deal with tomorrow!

Polyanna I am learning new skills to hopefully make me more employable so I can stop volunteering and earn some cash.

I'm in. Thanks Dusty.

I've been asleep and now wide awake. This is becoming a habit.

Morning!

Ugh kids woke at six :eek: DS: "mum is it wakey up time yet?" Me "no, half an hour" next thing I know there's two pairs of footsteps running down the hall.

All their stuff is ready oh except DD dinner money. Must pop that in. I'll just do this week and hopefully they'll have a code to pay online.

Don't want to get up

Morning, I'm in again thanks dusty.

This week I need to concentrate on the basic flying and the spare bedroom as we have visitors next weekend. The spare bedroom turns into a bit of a dumping ground

Mumto5

It feels like early January again. Everyone in this household is having great difficulty getting out of bed. Late nights over half term and busy days have caught up with us. Routine needs to be re-established!

I'm working today and the littlies have after school clubs until 4.15. I should have opportunity to tackle the list when I clock off at 2.

I hope everyone has a good day and a successful week.

Morning everyone

Actually feel quite chirpy this morning - for a Monday! Managed to complete a module of my online course last night and sort a bit of paperwork. More to do later though.

Thanks for the list Dusty. Our office is always a challenge so will tackle that later.

We are having a meeting after work with everyone involved in DSs care. These meetings are always quite emotional but hopefully we will make some progress.

Oh and I have an appraisal at work today. Think I will be exhausted by the time I get home.

Have a good day everyone x
