I have several data sheets with only 6-10 rows but many, many columns. When
they print, I get the first 10 columns of data across the top of the page,
but the next columns get put onto a new page and so on, leaving most of each
page empty and giving me about 15 mostly blank pages to shuffle through.

How can I get the data to 'wrap' so that instead of kicking onto a new page
for each new set of columns it simply 'carriage returns' to the next line
down on the current page and I can get all my data on just a couple much
easier to read pages?

Thanks.

Say you have 50 columns that need printing, but you can only print about 10
columns at a time and still read the sheet of paper.

You could insert 4 additional rows under each row and move columns 11-20, 21-30,
31-40, 41-50 into those 4 additional rows.

Then print that "shuffled" view.

=======

But that never works well for me. If column 1 is 4 characters wide and column
11 is 33, then I'd have to widen column 1 to 33 wide.

Maybe you could insert a new sheet.
then back to the original
select your range to print
edit|copy
back to A1 of the new sheet
edit|paste special|check transpose.

Now do a little house keeping -- just clean it up to make it look pretty. Then
print it (print preview first???).

You could hide those rows that don't have data in any of the data fields.

=========
But what I'd really do is hide the columns I don't want/need to see. Then just
print the columns I need. The columns I print may vary depending on what stage
I'm at in the process.

=========

Or maybe find a giant printer and use a very small font???
