Printing wide columns
Hi all
I have a spreadsheet that I want to print. It's only 2 columns, but the second column is very wide. I seem only able to print the first column. However if I reduce the width of column B to 88 or less it prints both columns. is this usual? I'm running XP. Thanks |

Really would depend on how big the paper your printing on to is.
Print Preview. Page Setup Then adjust to 1 by 1 or % of actual size to fit onto how ever many pages you want. "Richard" wrote: Hi all I have a spreadsheet that I want to print.

Thanks Amadee
But Print Preview only shows one page, and I have selected Fit to 1 page wide by 1 page tall.

It's in the page settings, but I can't give you the exact description and screen names in English, because my Excel is in Dutch. -- Amedee Van Gasse using XanaNews 1.17.3.1 If it has an "X" in the name, it must be Linux?

Thanks Tom
However I have selected Print 1 page wide by 1 page tall, and there is only 1 page shown on the Print Preview screen. I'm printing to A4. However I am making progress. I've discovered that if I manually adjust the %age to say 75% it prints OK, but if I use Fit to 1 page it doesn't.

When you go to <view<page break previewWhat does it show?
I have had to physically drag the dotted line over even when I had fit to one page selected. I have also had to select a larger area than was to be printed before, move the dotted lines around on the page break preview and print only only one of the possible pages to get what I want. A lot of it appears to be an interaction between different versions of WXCEL and the different print drivers. "Richard" wrote: Hi all I have a spreadsheet that I want to print.
