Article ID: Q70102

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, version 2.2

SUMMARY

If a macro in Microsoft Excel version 2.20 contains the PRINT command with Draft mode set (either on or off) and the Apple StyleWriter printer driver selected, Excel will crash.

The fifth argument of the PRINT command is a boolean that sets Draft on or off. If this argument is omitted, Excel will function normally.

MORE INFORMATION

The following statements will crash Excel when the StyleWriter printer driver is selected:

   =PRINT(,,,,TRUE)
   =PRINT(,,,,FALSE)

Note: This problem does not occur in later versions of Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh.
