Please describe the problem:
The PRINT PREVIEW function does not work. When selecting (or not selecting)
an area to print (the PRINT FUNCTION does WORK) THEN SELECTING print preview, my graphics display program (IrfanView) shows an error msg. The .emf file created by Gnumeric is invalid (usually 0-length). IrfanView CAN view .emf files, nut gnumeric is not generating valid .emf files to preview the print area.

Steps to reproduce:
1. select a portion of the spreadsheet to be printed
2. go to FILE, PRINT PREVIEW
3. An invalid .emf file is created in a \temp folder which cannot be viewed


Actual results:
invalid .emf file is generated by gnumeric. Cannot be viewed by graphics viewer.
Most cases the .emf file is 0-length. Sometimes it has non-zero length and can be viewed AFTER gnumeric is closed, but even then it is not a valid print preview image.

Expected results:
the graphics viewer program (IrfanView, in my case) should seccessfully open the .emf file containing the print preview image

Does this happen every time?
at least 95% of the time

Happens on both of my machines - running WinXP Pro
