How Microsoft Excel prints

  • • Each print area becomes one or more pages, with cell text placed on the page.
  • • Numbers stay right aligned in their cells.
  • • Newer Excel uses Aptos Narrow; older sheets use Calibri 11.

What that means when you change a deadline

  • • Letters you type that already appear in the printout, in the same font, are copied from its own letter shapes, so they print identically.
  • • Digits are recovered like letters, so a changed number keeps the printed digit shapes and spacing.
  • • After export, the recovered text can be selected, copied and searched, which the printout could not do.

What happens to the rest of the page

  • • Edit drafts, not signed agreements.
  • • Compare shows exactly what changed if you need to send a summary.

Questions people ask

+Should I change a signed agreement?

No. Issue a new version or an amendment instead.

+Why can't I select text in my Microsoft Print to PDF file?

The driver often draws every letter as a shape instead of writing text. MythosPDF reads those shapes and turns them back into real text before you edit.

+Is it better to reprint from Microsoft Excel?

If you still have the Microsoft Excel file and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already have, editing it is faster.
