Excel Printing Using Print Preview

Before printing all or part or an Excel spreadsheet, it might be a good idea to have a look at what is going to get printed – just in case it’s not what you expect – or really want. Print Preview displays the current worksheet in the preview window. It shows you how the worksheet will look when it is printed.
