Printing Web Discussions
Summary: If you are using the Web discussions feature built into some versions of Excel, you may want to print out a discussion at some point. It is easy to do if you follow the four steps in this tip. (This tip works with Microsoft Excel 2000, Excel 2002, and Excel 2003.)
If you are using the Web discussions feature available in Excel 2000, Excel 2002, and Excel 2003, you may periodically want to print the discussion comments related to a workbook. While it seems odd to print when the whole idea of discussions is to enable on-line interaction, there may be some off-site person who should see some comments. To print discussions, follow these steps:
- Click on the Discussions tool on the Discussions toolbar. Excel displays a menu of actions you can take.
- Choose Print Discussions. Excel displays the Print dialog box.
- Use the controls in the Print dialog box to specify the parameters for your print job.
- Click on OK. The discussion threads are printed on your printer.
You should note that all discussion threads are printed, so it is possible for the print job to be quite long if there are a lot of comments.
Tip #3161 applies to Microsoft Excel versions: 2000 2002 2003
