Defining the boundaries of a worksheet for printing is a common task. This procedure specifies which portions of a spreadsheet are included in the printed output, ensuring that only relevant data is presented. For instance, a user might choose to print just a table of sales figures from a larger worksheet containing supporting calculations and notes.
Limiting the printed range improves readability, reduces paper waste, and streamlines the distribution of information. Historically, this functionality has been crucial for managing large datasets and generating concise reports. It enables users to tailor printed documents to specific needs, optimizing the communication of data and eliminating extraneous information.
Subsequent sections will detail the specific methods for defining and adjusting these boundaries, as well as exploring advanced options for controlling the printed layout and scaling of the selected range.
