Excel: PAGE.SETUP?() Macro Error Using Fit To Array

Last reviewed: July 16, 1997

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Excel for Windows, versions 4.0 and 4.0a

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Excel, if you use the PAGE.SETUP?() function to define the Fit To array as one of the parameters, you will receive the following error message:

   Number is not valid

If you choose OK, you receive the following error message:

   Macro Error at Cell: Macro1!A1

However, if you use the same syntax with the PAGE.SETUP() function (note that there is no question mark), the function will work as expected (this correct behavior is described in the "Microsoft Excel Function Reference," version 4.0).

Workarounds

To work around this problem, use either of the following two procedures.

Workaround

In a new macro sheet, type the following macro:
A1: PAGE.SETUP("&F","Page &P",0.75,0.75,1,1, FALSE,TRUE,FALSE,
```
       FALSE, 1,1,{2,2},1,1,FALSE)
```
A2: PAGE.SETUP?() A3: RETURN()
Run the macro.

You should not receive a macro error.
