Making a vertical Excel spreadsheet horizontal?

[RLC]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

I am a very inexperienced Excel user. I was sent an Excel spreadsheet that I must use for work. When I print it out it is too wide to fit on one page. I know how to make excel columns wider or thinner but I do not know how to get the entire page to basically print out with a horizontal orientation instead of a vertical one if that makes any sense. I can see that figuring this out is the key to my printing woes. I have a feeling it's a very quick fix and just a matter of knowing what to do. Do any of YOU know what I'm talking about and how to change this?!

Thanks!

Hey...I figured it out all by myself. In case the answer is helpful to anyone else, here's what it was:

I needed to change the setting for the whole sheet from Portrait (vertical) to Landscape (Horizontal). The way to do this is to go to the "View" section and select the "Formatting Palette" option from the View menu. In "Formatting Palette" you will see the icons for Potrait and Landscape and just select whichever one you want and voila.

Knew it would be easy, just didn't know where to look. Hope this info helps someone else

Good for you!

There are also other options that may work depending on how much too wide
the content is... Such as using the Scaling features to shrink the print job
or possibly reducing the size of the margins.
