Hi,

I am looking for a macro or a solution to select the entire work sheet except the print area.

Thanks,

LenPL

Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
Try this:
Code:
Sub CtrlA_Excl_PrtA()
    If ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "" Then Exit Sub
    Set PrtA = Range(ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea)
    Set SelA = Range(Cells(1, PrtA.Column + PrtA.Columns.Count), Cells(1, Columns.Count)).EntireColumn
    Set SelA = Application.Union(SelA, Range(PrtA.Row + PrtA.Rows.Count & ":" & Rows.Count))
    If PrtA.Column > 1 Then Set SelA = Application.Union(SelA, Range("A1", Cells(1, PrtA.Column - 1)).EntireColumn)
    If PrtA.Row > 1 Then Set SelA = Application.Union(SelA, Range("1:" & PrtA.Row - 1))
    SelA.Select
End Sub

Perfect! Thank you Tetra.
I can't believe this isn't a standard feature or it has been discussed on 'google'.
