How to Effectively Print Comments in Excel
Excel’s comments can be a great help, but tricky when it comes to printing. This part of the article will show how to do it. We’ll look at two sections. First, how to define the print area and pick which cells to print. Then, how to configure page breaks for printing. This will help you print your comments as you need them to be.
Defined Print Area and Select Range of Cells to Print
- Step 1: Select the cells you want to print – to define the print area. Right-click on them and click “Define Name”. This brings up the “New Name” dialog box.
- Step 2: In the dialog box, give it a name that describes its content. Make sure the checkmark next to “Print Area” is selected and click “OK”.
- Step 3: Go to the “Page Layout” tab and select “Print Area” > “Set Print Area.” Now Excel knows which cells to print.
Defining Print Area & Selecting Range of Cells is helpful when printing comments in Excel. It helps everyone know which parts of the sheet are important. Plus, it saves time & money by not printing unwanted data. It also makes sharing sheets with colleagues or stakeholders easier.
However, forgetting to define certain cells can be costly. Always double-check before pressing the ‘print’ button.
Now that we understand Defined Print Area, let’s move onto Configure Page Breaks for Printing. This helps avoid unnecessary page breaks from appearing in the printed document.
Configure Page Break for Printing
Want to print comments in Excel? Configure page breaks! Here’s how:
- Open the worksheet with the comments you want to print.
- Click on the “Page Layout” tab.
- Select “Page Setup” and then “Breaks”.
- Choose “Insert Page Break” and select the cell name or address with one comment.
- Repeat step 4 until all desired breaks are inserted.
Setting up page breaks allows you to control where pages begin and end during printing. You can manually set up page breaks for more control. Plus, it reduces paper waste by ensuring printed pages only have what you want!
Don’t forget to configure page breaks before you print! Once that’s done, learn another technique for printing comments without having to rely on manual configuration – ‘Print Comments Directly on the Worksheet’!
