View and Adjust the Sheet Layout

Microsoft Excel allows you to print specific cell ranges, which can include charts and other graphic objects, in various locations. The Page Break Preview command (View menu) helps you visualize and adjust the big printing picture.

In page break preview, each page is indicated by large gray letters in the background, and print areas are white with heavy black borders. Page breaks are indicated by heavy lines within the print area: Automatic page breaks are indicated by dashed lines; manual page breaks are indicated by solid lines. You can adjust page breaks and print areas by dragging these lines. You can enter and edit data and adjust the size and position of charts and other objects in page break preview.

Change the page setup   In page break preview, right-click, and then click Page Setup on the shortcut menu. On the Sheet tab, set the area of the worksheet that you want to print. Change margins and alignment on the Margins tab. Orient pages horizontally or vertically on the Page tab. Add or edit headers and footers on the Headers and Footers tab.
