Q: Microsoft Excel Mac Issues - Print Format

I have Microsoft Office Mac 2008 and just purchased Microsoft Office Mac2011.

There is a formatting issue with printing spreadsheets as Excel defaults to Portrait and 100% Scaling. I save the Excel worksheets formatted as Landscape and 60% Scaling in order to fit each worksheet on one page. However, when I then reopen a spreadsheet and attempt to print, Excel frequently defaults to Portrait and 100% scale, so the worksheet may then take four pages to print.

This is very frustrating and unprofessional when I send the spreadsheet to a third party. It appears as if I don't know how to format the Print function.

I spent more than an hour with Mac technical support, but they could not resolve the issue. We uninstalled Office, including all of the Libraries, several times, but the problem persists.

I hoped that Microsoft Office Mac 2011 would resolve the issue, but it is still a problem.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Does anyone have a solution?

Thank you very much.
