Set up the worksheet with print area and appropriate page breaks at 100% zoom, the way you want it to print. Then make the charts, and size them appropriately to fit on the pages.

The problem I’m having is exactly as originally described by Dick.
I have a sheet with 9 graphs which I want to display nicely on 3 pages as
4/4/1. Setting print area to 1 wide by 3 high fits all graphs, but places
page breaks through the middle of some.

I’ve been trying to introduce 2 horizontal page breaks, but they are always ignored
while ever page width/height options are included. Only way I’ve managed to format the
sheet correctly is to determine and set the appropriate scale (zoom). When this is done
the manual page breaks are recognised correctly.

Thanks for pointing that out. This is one reason that I think blogs are better than FAQs – corrections.

For example, if you have a “fit to height” condition set of 2 pages but have three horizontal page breaks, it is illogical and is ignored. If you have a “fit to width” set of 2 pages but have three vertical page breaks, it is illogical and is ignored.

However, if you have it set to “fit to height” and have only vertical page breaks or “fit to width” and have horizontal page breaks, they will be obeyed.

I personally like 100% to keep all my workpapers uniform looking, but when I share files, some people have printers that don’t work with my files and will split the last column onto another page. I work around this by making it 100%, but then setting it to “fit to width” of 1 page and leaving “fit to height” blank. My page breaks are followed, and it does scale down to 98 or 99% when needed.

Nice blog, BTW. Please keep it up.
