SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Excel, when you print or view a worksheet in print preview, you may receive a general protection (GP) fault if the worksheet contains an OLE object.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if all of the following are true:

The problem occurs when you print the entire file, or when you view it in print preview and you use the Next button or the vertical scroll bar to view the entire file.

This problem does not occur if you save the worksheet after you set the print title. This is true even if you then remove the print title, and add a print title again. However, if you remove the print title, save the worksheet, and then add a print title again, the problem occurs.

This problem does not occur with a vertical (column) print title.

WORKAROUND

To avoid receiving a GP fault when you print your worksheet or view it in print preview, save the file that contains the worksheet after you insert a horizontal (row) print title.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
