Here's one for the gurus out there...
When I was a Windows user, I would create invoices (with a graphic logo) in Excel. I could drag and select all the data in that work sheet and paste it into an Outlook email. It would keep all the formatting and graphics as if it were an HTML email.

When I switched to the Mac, I was able to use that same spreadsheet template in Office X, but when I try to paste the info into a Mail.app email, it doesn't work. It just pastes a bunch of garbage. If I try to print that spreadsheet as a .PDF file, it creates a blank PDF file.

If I try to print the spreadsheet to my HP P1000 printer, it prints a blank page as well.

Any ideas?

what does your print preview show?

are your page breaks set weird? (look for the "page break preview" option).

is this some old excel spreadsheet that you're now using on your mac? i dont imagine there would be an incompatibility, but there could be.

i just typed some random stuff into an excel spreadsheet (office 2004), saved as PDF via the print command, and it showed up fine?
