Do you mean "Now printing page 1 of 4 etc."?
That is standard behavior in Excel.
I don't know of a method of changing that behavior.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't very clear...I haven't noticed it in any other program except for excel...no, Gord, that is not the window I was referring to. It is a box that pops up in the lower right hand corner which states "this document has gone to the printer" It does not happen every time, just enough to be annoying....this is not just my complaint, every one in the office hates it. It also, at the same time puts a printer icon in the toolbar, but it disappears before you can click on it.....anyway, if anyone out there has experienced this, maybe they could explain it a little better than I did...
