Printing in Microsoft Excel

To Print a Certain Range in Microsoft Excel

  1. Select the cells that you wish to print.
  2. Go to the page layout tab of the ribbon by pressing ALT+P.
  3. Look in the Page Set Up group of the lower ribbon, the second group from left, and choose Print Area. The keystroke is SP.
  4. Choose Set Print Area.

The Page Setup Dialog Box

The Page Setup dialog box is a multipage dialog box. On the first page, the page tab, there is a group of radio buttons for scaling. The default is to have the scaling adjusted to 100% of normal size. However, you can change this to the other radio button choice there of "fit to." For example you could choose to have the area fit into one page wide by one page tall.

On the Sheet tab page, the default page order for printing is set with the radio button for down, then over. You could also change this radio button to "over, then down."

Set JAWS to Announce Page Breaks

  1. Use the adjust JAWS options dialog box, INSERT+V, from within Microsoft Excel.
  2. In the search edit box type the following words: page break detection.
  3. Press DOWN ARROW to find Page Break Detection in the tree view. It is not checked by default. Press the SPACEBAR to check this and then press TAB to move to the okay button and activate it. Now whenever the cell with focus moves left or right across the page break or up or down past a page break JAWS will announce it.
