Welcome to the next section of this Excel 101 course during this section we're going to be taking a
look at printing now printing may not seem like a big deal to you.
File Print or a single button press.
But there are several options that we can get into to really make our document more presentable with
print setup options.
So let's take a look at first how you can get into print preview and see what your document looks like
right now by default.
Before we touch any of the options let's see what it looks like.
So to get in the print preview I'm going to go to my File tab.
Top left corner of my screen.
This takes me into that backstage view that we kind of got a quick peek at Way back when in an earlier
lecture.
Now I'm going to go down to print in 2013 as well as 2010 and 2016 the latest release print preview
is built right into the backstage view.
If you're on 2007 you go down to print this actually still opens up a another window like you did in
all the earlier versions of Excel but your aim is out of print preview and I can see my document what
it will look like if I were to print it right now and I can identify several things that I'd like to
fix about this document.
Right now it's pretty small.
My documents in portrait mode so maybe I want to think about changing the orientation of this page to
get my document larger because it's kind of wider than it is tall right.
So by flipping the page putting on side I have some wider space that I can start to work with and see
the margins maybe I want to start messing around with the margins and make those wider.
I want to add a header footer to this page.
You know there's various considerations that we can have as we get this document ready to be printed
.
I don't want to do just default like this.
Maybe I don't want to put the spreadsheet on it's own page and the chart on its own page make a nice
and big and isolate the two bits of information on their respective pages.
So we're going to take a look at these features and many more within our Prit set up options.
So get ready.
Let's take a look at these options
