Pinting to fit
I have Excel spreadsheets that I have specified a "Fit To" or "Adjust To"
size to either have the file print all on one page or have all columns on one page. Is there a way to have the printed page fill the page? When it reduces to fit there is often a lot of white space - the report looks ugly! Any suggestions? |

"Stretch" in only one direction? You will need to "adjust" the Columns
or Rows in the "white space" yourself. jostlund wrote: I have Excel spreadsheets that I have specified a "Fit To" or "Adjust To" size to either have the file print all on one page or have all columns on one page.

I'm not sure what you mean - resizing the columns doesn't help.

I think the problem is that you haven't explained clearly what you don't
like about the printed output. If you have a worksheet that uses about the right number of columns, but more rows, than would fit on one page at 100%, and you format to fit 1wide x 1tall, then obviously there will be a lot of white space to the left and/or right of the printing. Is this what you don't like? If not, where is the white space? "jostlund" wrote in message ... I'm not sure what you mean - resizing the columns doesn't help.

The "fit on one page" keeps the selection proportional. If you select
something "tall and narrow" and fit to a single page, there is going to be white space on either side. It won't distort the selection to cover the page with text from one side to the other. You would need to make the Column in the selection Wider if you want them wider. jostlund wrote: I'm not sure what you mean - resizing the columns doesn't help.

Maybe something like:
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup .Zoom = False .FitToPagesWide = 1 .FitToPagesTall = 1 End With HTH "jostlund" wrote: I have Excel spreadsheets that I have specified a "Fit To" or "Adjust To" size to either have the file print all on one page or have all columns on one page.

I like to have my Exel sheet fill to the outer edges. I make the margins .25 for one. Also, I experiment with making the font size very large...maybe around 80..and adjust the columns/rows to fit. Also, changing the row/column width/height can influence. NOTE: Your page setting will auto change in Preview. For me, it takes some playing around to make it come out right. |

No, I don't mind--but since it was generated by recording a macro, you may want
to check with BillG??? Happy Holidays to you and yours, too! Jim May wrote: Hope you don't mind, it's just that you gave it to me ONLY 2 minutes before, AND I REMEMBERED IT HooRay (for me) !!!

This is part of a macro that you would run to change these settings.
But you can do the same thing by: File|Page setup|Page Tab Check the "Fit to" button and change it to 1 page(s) wide by 1 tall (xl2003 menu system) jostlund wrote: Now I'll really show my ignorance - where do I put this?
