Conditional Formatting Question inside... :)

[BEEK]

Hello. Excel '97 here...

What I have is a three-column sheet where the second column is filled with one of around 10 names.

I need to know how to insert a page break (automatically) when the name in the second column changes (for example...if the first three rows have Jones as the name in the second column and then the next row has Smith, I need for it to insert a page break because the name changed).

I understand how to insert a page break by hand but I'm trying to automate this process.

Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone might can offer!

Try using the following code where a1 is the location of the first name:
Range("a1").Select
For i = 1 To 10
If Not ActiveCell.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Value Then
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.HPageBreaks.Add before:=ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0)
End If
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Next i
End Sub

I hope this helps.
Kind regards, Al.
