Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)

I just upgraded to office 2008 for Mac and can not find the "print preview" command in Excel I had in my previous version and that is available in Word 2008.  Was it removed?

> Bob - thank you for the reply.  For what is worth, this was a terrible change.  Very time consuming when working with documents to go to the dialog box first to print preview.  The old way allowed to change margins to make documents fit just right - now you have to fiddle with a number of steps to do what I once was able to do easily.  I may go back to the old version.

You can do all of that in Page Layout View combined with the Page Setup
features in the Formatting Palette of the Toolbox. That view also provides a
set of Rulers for adjusting margins additional to the value boxes in the
Formatting Palette. Granted, it's *different* than what you're accustomed to
but quite honestly I've found it to be far more efficient than the old Print
Preview window - where you couldn't edit any content or deal with
Headers/Footers, etc. without going into a separate Page Setup dialog.
