Occasionally (maybe once/day) while I'm flipping through tabs of an Excel workbook the "normal" look of the tab is replaced with what looks like a screenshot of the tab. The font is fuzzier, rows are wider, and then I can't work in the workbook anymore because the "screenshot" is on top of what I am working on. If I save the file, exit Excel and re-open the file is fine. Any thoughts on how to prevent this?

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Hi Pam
I have had this issue before, but it was a long time ago, check your printer setup, as excel used the printer driver to draw the excel data to the screen, this is why it looked like a screen shoot, and when closed & opened again works fine, as it was redrawn. I fixed my issue with installing a old lexmark jetspeed direct printer driver & setting it to default printer,
Hope this helps
