SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition, if you remove one or more page
breaks from a worksheet when multiple worksheets are selected (that is, you
are in group edit mode), the page breaks may not be removed from all of the
worksheets. Specifically, the page breaks may not be removed from the last
or next-to-last selected worksheet.

If you manually remove page breaks from a worksheet while multiple
worksheets are selected, make sure that you also switch to the last and
next-to-last selected worksheets and remove the page breaks from these
sheets.
If you are using a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro or
procedure to remove page breaks while multiple worksheets are selected,
make sure that all of the page breaks are correctly removed by including
code similar to the following:
' Store the cell from which to remove page breaks.
xCell = ActiveCell.Address
' For each worksheet that is currently selected...
For Each xSheet In ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets
' Remove the page breaks from the active cell in that worksheet.
xSheet.Range(xCell).PageBreak = xlPageBreakNone
' Repeat for all selected worksheets.
Next xSheet
In this example, xCell is the cell that is immediately below and/or to the
right of a page break. When you run a macro or procedure that includes this
code, it removes the page breaks from the active cell in each of the
selected worksheets.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
In Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition, you can manually remove a page
break from a cell by selecting the cell, and then clicking Remove Page
Break on the Insert menu. You can insert a page break by selecting the cell
and clicking Page Break on the Insert menu.
