Enlarging spread sheet for printing?
 
Hi,

I am using Microsoft Excel for Mac.

I have the feeling that this is really simple, but I'm having serious brain
freeze.

I am trying to print a spreadsheet. I would like it to print on a full
page, but it is coming out really small, even though it is large enough on
normal view. I have tried to change my font size, and pulled the document
out completely to a larger size in normal view, but it still doesn't change
when I do my print preview. I have tried to make my page breaks larger to
fit the entire page hoping this would stretch it out to no avail.

Even though I am using the Macintosh version, I am pretty sure the issue
could be resolved the same way it would be in the Windows version. At least,
I am hoping!

TIA for any help!

Choose FilePage Setup
On the Page tab, under Scaling, increase the 'Adjust to' percentage
Click OK

Enlarging spread sheet for printing?
 
I've also noticed that it will not auto scale (using "fit to 1 page wide",
for example) if you have set columns to repeat at left.
