How to print a table in excel

Most often today, tables are created, stored and distributed in the format of a spreadsheet editor. Microsoft Office Excel. A little less often, Microsoft Office Word is used for these purposes. Both applications allow you to easily print spreadsheet, having previously selected the best option for its placement on the sheet.

You will need

  • - spreadsheet editor Microsoft Office Excel 2007 or 2010;
  • - Word processor Microsoft Office Word 2007 or 2010.

Instruction

  • If, apart from a table in a document loaded into a word processor Microsoft Word, there is text or some other elements that do not need to be printed, it is better to temporarily transfer the table to a separate document. To do this, first copy the object - move the cursor to the upper left corner, click on the small square icon with a plus and press the key combination Ctrl + C. Then create new document(Ctrl + N) and paste the table (Ctrl + V).
  • If you are using the Word 2010 version of the word processor, click on the "File" button and select the "Print" section. To the right of the list of commands in the menu there is a column with print settings, and even to the right - a preview picture of a printed sheet with a table. Using the settings, select the most suitable print settings - select the size of the indents from the edge of the sheet, set the portrait or landscape orientation, adjust the dimensions to the width of the paper you are using, etc. All changes you make will be displayed on the preview image. When you're done, click the big "Print" button at the very top of the settings column.
  • In Word 2007, you can see all of these settings in one place in the Page Setup dialog box. To call it, go to the "Page Layout" tab, expand the "Fields" drop-down list and select the "Custom Fields" line. In version 2010, this option for accessing print settings is also available. After setting all the parameters, click the OK button and call the send to print dialog using the Ctrl + P keys.

Click on it, and you will be able not only to drag horizontal and vertical margins on the printed page with the mouse, but also adjust the width of the print layout columns in the same way.
  • Like a word processor, the Page Layout tab of the menu in Excel 2007 and 2010 has a Margins drop-down list with a Custom Margins item that brings up a separate settings window. The same settings as in Word are now divided into four tabs instead of three.

    Printing only the selected part of an Excel spreadsheet

    To print only part of a table, it is not necessary to filter it or hide rows and columns. You can simply specify the range of those cells that should be printed. Note that on the second sheet there is a large gap between the column headings and the table numbers. Let's eliminate it by excluding empty lines 7-9 from the print range.

    1. Highlight lines 1 to 6.

    2. Press the Ctrl key and drag the pointer over the buttons on lines 10-14 to add them to the existing selection, as shown in Figure 2. 12.13.

That is, the print range can also be set using this field of the Page Setup dialog box. To reset the set print range, just select the command File > Print Area > Clear.

    The completed operations complete the setting of the print options for the Formula sheet. But in addition to the table, you need to print a chart that presents the data in graphical form. In the next exercise, you will set up the Chart sheet and print it along with the source data table.

    1. Select a table in the database window.
    2. Push button Seal(Print) on the toolbar Database(database).

    This prints the entire table. To display the entire table, you can also right-click on the table icon in the database window and select the command from the context menu Seal(Print).

    To be able to see the location of the data on the pages before they are sent to print, you can use the preview function. You can enter the Preview mode both from the database window and from the Table mode.
