In the Excel 2007 Page Setup section of the page layout tab the first button is Margins. Click the down arrow to see the default selections. These are the margins that you need to set for printing your document.
You can also set custom margins by clicking the custom margins selection at the bottom of the Margins button.
The Page Setup window will open automatically to the Margins tab. In this tab you can set the top, bottom, left and right margins. In this tab you can also set the spacing for the header and footer or center the spreadsheet either horizontally or vertically on the page. The page in the center will give you a preview of how your spreadsheet will print.
The next button is Orientation. Click the down arrow on the Orientation button. This button lets you change the orientation of your spreadsheet to portrait or landscape.
If you are following the Budget tutorial Change the spreadsheet to Landscape then click print preview to make sure the whole spreadsheet fits on the page. If it does not fit we will get to that soon.
The next button in the Page Layout tab, page setup section is Size. This button will let you select the size of the paper you will print your spreadsheet on. Printing small spreadsheets on note cards for school exams is where I found this option most valuable.
Click the down arrow to see all of the page size options.
The 8.5” x 11” paper size is the default selection. You can use the scroll bar on the right had side of the drop down menu to see more sizes or if you would like more options click the More Paper sizes option at the bottom of the list.
