[comp.sys.mac.apps] Strange Excel problem with Excel documents

  I'm having some strange problems with some of my Excel files.  First, I
have an IW LQ printer, with the latest Apple driver, which has always worked
fine except for this problem.
  The problem is that occasionally, when trying to print some of the Excel
spreadsheets, only the "Best" quality option will be selected- the Faster
(mid quality) and Draft are dimmed and cannot be selected.  A preview looks
okay as far as page layout goes, but when it prints, the outputomes out
reduced, I'd say about 1/3 the correct size.  The LQ page size is set to
full page (it has options for 33% and 66% reduction).
  A couple of times I'been able to 'fix' the file by making a copy of it
(and sometimes, a copy of the copy), and when I open up that and try to 
print it, it's back to normal.  If anyone else has seen this or knows how
to fix or solve it, I'd be very interested.
