Microsoft Excel, printing a certain area??

I am trying to print several different rows from Microsoft Excel. I've selected the area I want to print, selected 'file, print area, set print area', but it puts the rows on separate pages? I want these rows printed on one page?

Then I tried 'file, print, selection', this also puts it unto several pages. I'm looking for these rows to print on one page??

    Hi,

    I think if you highlight the intervening rows, right click on one of them and select hide (or something like), the you can probably do what you want.

    Hi Whitefiver

    Tried that, didn't seem to work, still prints on several pages. When I select 2 rows together it prints that on one page, then when I select other rows it prints them in a separate page!

    I was wanting to print the area I highlighted unto one page!

    Thanks

    Are you sure your document is not more than one page?

    Go to print preview/options/fit to 1 page and it should work.

    If a print area contains nonadjacent areas of a worksheet, Excel prints each area on a separate page by default.

    To get around this, select the rows you don't want to print and hide them (Format menu - Row - Hide). Then set a print area that contains all the rows, including the hidden rows.

    This is something I'm trying out at home as I had to do it in work today, its on one page. I've just typed a few rows in excel and for work I need to print out certain rows. So for eg. if I want to print row 2, 5, 6, 10 it prints row 2 on one page, row 5 & 6 unto another page, then row 10 on a third page.

    Trying to get these to print on one page??

    You were right too Whitefiver, just couldn't get my head around it.

    Cheers
