Hello,

Is it just me or is Excel no good at fitting a print area to a page.

I've used Lotus 123 (which I hate), and it printing options seem great.

I've tried reseting margins etc, and resizing columns and rows, but the result are the same - the data always falls miles short of the margins.

Is there anything to solve this?

Thanks

Under File > Page Setup, choose the Page Tab. There is a scaling option so that you can fit the output to x pages wide by y pages tall. If it's a multi-page document and you just want to fit the width, set the "y pages tall" to something that exceeds your needs.
 
Hi Andrew,

Mark the area you want to print, and go to File->Print Area->Ste Print Area . . .. This will set the print area to the range that you have currently selected.

Then you could also use dsi's suggestion.



Peace! [peace]

Or if you want it fit to full page width, but don't care about how many pages long, in the Page setup set the width to 1 page wide and delete the value for page length.
