Chapter 8. Print Your Work

In many instances, when you're finished creating and formatting a worksheet or chart, you'll need to print it.

Although you can just use the Print command (or toolbar button) to send a sheet to your printer for hard copy, Excel offers a wide variety of page setup options you can use to customize your printout. For example, you can change page orientation and scaling, set margins, add headers and footers, and specify a print area. All of these settings affect the way your sheet will appear when printed. Fortunately, Excel's Print Preview feature (shown here) enables you to see what your sheets will look like before you print them, so you can fine-tune their appearance without wasting a lot of paper.
