Will a macro close print preview. I had a macro perform other tasks, and then
open in print preview, however it will not close the preview. I really need
to. What am I doing wrong. I am pasting the macro below.

I understand that the Printpreview window is meant to let humans examine the
contents and only when they are happy with the result proceed with the
actual printing. How could this ever be entrusted to a macro? The
Printpreview window has to be closed manually and I don't think that even a
Sendkeys statement would help you since macro execution doesn't proceed
unless you close the window.

The simple answer is change printPREVIEW to printOUT. However, you can also
clean up to remove selections.


Sub ConvertData()

' ConvertData Macro
' Converts date, time, temperature to Celcius, bolds, averages celcius temp,
print preview

' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+d

Columns("B").NumberFormat = "h:mm;@"
