The Page Setup Dialog Box – Sheet Tab Options

The Sheet Tab of the Page Setup dialog box has four areas of printing options.

  1. Print Area – Select a range of cells on the spreadsheet to print. Very useful if you are interested only in printing a small section of the worksheet.

  2. Print Titles – Used for printing certain rows and columns on every page - usually headings or titles.

  3. Print - Available options:

    • Gridlines – For printing the worksheet gridlines – making it easier to read data on larger worksheets.

    • Black and white – For use with color printers - prevents colors in worksheet from being printed.

    • Draft quality – Prints a quick, low quality copy that saves on toner or ink.

    • Row and column headings – Prints the row numbers and the column letters down the side and across the top of each worksheet.

    • Comments: – Prints all comments that have been added to a worksheet.

    • Cell errors as: – Choices for printing error messages in cells - default is as displayed - meaning as they appear in the worksheet.

  4. Page order – Changes the order for printing pages on a multiple page spreadsheet. Normally Excel prints down the worksheet. If you change the option, it will print across.
