Hi there. I use excel sometimes to create a one page table. For example, maybe I want to create a sign in sheet for an event. So I use the border function to get my lines. Then to make it fit the page width, I will manually change the width until I get it about right. Right means the widths are consistent and the table takes up the whole page from left to right. I do this from top to bottom as well. I’m wondering if there is an automatic way to “autofit” the width of columns and height of rows to take up the whole page. Otherwise my “sign in” sheet would look odd and wouldn’t really make full use of the paper. Hope that’s clear and thanks for any help.

I have adjusted my columns to fit the longest line of text (by double-clicking the crosshair at the top of each column) and it looks fine on the screen, but in “print preview” and on the actual printed page, the columns have not been adjusted to the text…in other words there’s a lot of white space from the end of the line of text to the beginning of the next column. What am I doing wrong?

Pamela: There's no built-in way to do that in Excel. At least none I know of.

I have gone in and selected the rows I would like repeated at the top of the page, however I do not want this repeated or printed out on the last page. How do I get this to not print or show on my last page without removing it from all the rest?

I have the page set-up to Landscape and fit to 1 page wide by __ tall as specified above.
The print preview shows exactly what I want.
When I print several columns on the right are missing.
Is it maybe the case that if the printer can't get it any smaller it'll stop at its own reduction level and tuff?

Piege: It’s the same as the picture in this post, but select Landscape instead of Portrait.

this is a great way to reduce paper consumption and it’s always easier to read.

I’ve got a problem though … we got a really long list of people and their phone number we would like to print out on landscape instead of portrait… instead of having 1 long list we would have the list cut in half on the page… Is there a way to do this automatically without copy paste or VBA?
