I am attempting to create a multi line macro in Excel, but when I run it, it
only prints the first line. I have tried creating the new line by both
pressing return and also by just moving the cursor down to the next line, but
when running the macro get the same result.

Any suggestions as to how I overcome this problem?

You'll have to provide more detail here. We need to know what your macro
must achieve, and seeing your code will help us to help you

It would help if we could see the Macro. Could you post what you've got so
far, and give a bit more description on what you want it to do. When you say
"multi line" are you referring to lines within the Macro, rows in the
spreadsheet, or lines withing a cell?

-- The macro is for use in producing invoices, the template for which is set
up in Excel. The majority of my invoices use exactly the same wording, i.e.

Collect defective item and transport to our workshop
Strip item
Clean parts
Etc.

What has been happening is that when I run the macro it only prints the
first line unless I position the cursor in exactly the same cell as the
starting point when creating the macro. It would not be possible for me to
do this.

Since my original posting, I have discovered that my problem is to do with
relative references. However, I have tried recording a macro with the
feature turned on, and then with it turned off, and the result is the same
each time.

A further problem which has just occurred is that when I press the €˜record
macro button, the stop recording toolbar which contains the relative
reference button no longer appears on the screen. Whats happened to it?
How do I get it back?

I would be grateful for any help on this as I have been struggling to
resolve it myself for some now..

Gillj,
As Elkar says, better to post your macro. Sounds like you need to create a
print range, or a named range to refer to, to get your macro to print what
you need, but really not enough info to go by. To get your stop recording
button back, click on Tools|Customize, select toolbars, and tick Stop
Recording. After that, when you want to stop a recording, NEVER use the
little X, instead, click on the square button
