Excel on my mac is so confusing and i have never used it before. It prints out everything but the grid lines for the graph..without the gridlines, the graph looks weird and not easy to read. 😟...help..The print preview shows the grid lines on the mac but when it prints out, i get a weird graph..

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

That's not a function of your Mac. That's a function of Excel.


Page setup, Sheet Tab, under Print: check to show gridlines.

I had the same problem and the workaround I have found is to set the Print Area. I think Excel assumes you only want to print visible content, so I couldn't print just the grid lines and the header, even though I had gridlines set to "show" and "print."


So, just set the Print Area for the width and then height for number of pages desired. Of course, you must already have your gridlines showing on the screen.
