How can I show the 1st 3 rows off the ,,first'' worksheet, on each new worksheet?

So it's some sort of Header?

And another question:
How can I enter text in a cell that I can see on screen but doesn't get printed?
I don't like that comment thing in Excel, because you only see the/that comment when the corresponding cell is active.



great thanks,
Tim

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
/Me is a little stupid

Fixed it => PageSetup, Worksheet, rows on top of each page!

BUT... still I need to get this figured out:

Hi - Welcome to the board

You can set the print area and not include the cells you don't want to print. You will still see them on the screen, but they will not print out.

You could try making the cell font white before print and change it back like:
for cell A4
In the vbCode:

Workbook section:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
'Chas Weber 4/9/04
Range("a4").Font.Color = vbWhite
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'Chas Weber 4/9/04
Range("a4").Font.Color = vbBlack
End Sub

In the Sheet section for sheet cell is on:

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
'Chas Weber 4/9/04
Range("a4").Font.Color = vbBlack
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
'Chas Weber 4/9/04
Range("a4").Font.Color = vbBlack
End Sub

@Chas17:
WORKS!!!!!!! GREAT MAN!
You're my Hero! :wink:

Only one little thing left (not a real problem)
The tekst only turn black when you click somewhere in the sheet, can't it get black again when you drop back from in the sheet from the print menu?


@Hotpepper:
I would like to hide row 2 and 3 from my printer so I can use these rows to put comments in.



greetings.
