Scale

Use the scale features to control the number of pages the data will

print on. This can be useful if a large amount of data needs to be

printed more compactly or, if the reader has poor eyesight, text can be

enlarged when it prints.

• Reduce/Enlarge printout—scales the data in the printout either

larger or smaller. For example if a sheet would normally print out

as four pages (two high and two wide), a scaling of 50% would

print as one page (both width and height are halved).

• Fit print range(s) on number of pages—defines exactly how many

pages the printout will take up. This option will only reduce a

printout, it will not enlarge it. To enlarge a printout, the

reduce/enlarge option must be used.

• Fit print range(s) to width/height—defines how high and wide the

printout will be, in pages.

Using print ranges

Print ranges have several uses, including printing only a specific part

of the data or printing selected rows or columns on every page. For

more about using print ranges, see Chapter 5 (Printing, Exporting, and

E-mailing) in the

Calc Guide

Defining a print range

To define a new print range or modify an existing print range:

1) Highlight the range of cells that comprise the print range.

2) Choose Format > Print Ranges > Define.

The page break lines display on the screen.

Tip

You can check the print range by using File > Page Preview.

OOo will only display the cells in the print range.

Removing a print range

It may become necessary to remove a defined print range, for example

if the whole sheet needs to be printed later.

Choose Format > Print Ranges > Remove. This removes

all

defined

print ranges on the sheet. After the print range is removed, the default

page break lines will appear on the screen.
