SYMPTOMS
When you print a Microsoft Excel 97 worksheet that contains a print area that consists of more than 32,767 pages, you may receive the following error message:
CAUSE
This problem occurs when you type any number greater than 32,767 in the From or To boxes under Print Range in the Print dialog box.
NOTE: Theses boxes are too narrow to display any numbers greater than two digits in length.
The highest page number that you can print from a print range on a worksheet is 32,767.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, create separate print ranges that contain no more than 32,767 pages each.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows.
