Problem: Once Escape sequences are entered in the Print Options Setup field and Return is pressed, these sequences cannot be deleted by backspacing over them. The Space Bar or another escape sequence must be typed over the same number of characters to actually overwrite the old sequence. The following is an example: Enter two or more escape or control sequences under Print Options Setup. Print the spreadsheet. Type Print Options Setup and backspace over the last command sequence so that there is only one left. Multiplan still sends the original sequences. Now type spaces past the end of the setup string so that it overtypes the invisible former second sequence. This time it won’t be sent.

Response: You can work around this problem by making sure that if you delete an escape or control sequence from the Print Options Setup field that you type spaces for the same number of characters as the original string contained.
