I am trying to print Excel Spreadsheet with gridlines in Landscape format. All it prints is 1 column down one side in Portrait format. Help please.

I tried all those things and it still doesn’t print out the gridlines. All the print gridlines boxes are checked, just changed the print quality from draft to presentation (also tried other options), clicked home tab and clicked all borders, and set the print area. Color is set to automatic. What else am I missing?

Thanks to Pete for his suggestion. I had done all the other things suggested, but if you leave draft quality ticked, it will not print out the gridlines – not something I would ever have thought of so thanks again

I am having the same problem as Sharon had back in December – it’s driving me insane? Print preview will show the landscape layout but even though I change to landscape, set print area and then save, it just goes back to portrait? Thanks for any help anyone may be able to give!

I have downloaded an excel workbook from my boss’s computer which had 2003. I need to print the payroll report in landscape at a reduced print size. My computer will not print landscape but her computer will print the same report off my computer in the landscape form. I have chatted on line with HP help and they told me to uninstall my printer software and reinstall. I did and it printed one page correctly but not any more. When you look at the print preview it shows ok but still won’t print correctly. Can anyone help

How do you print gridlines on just part of a sheet? Say for instance, you want a narrative paragraph up above, and your tabular infor with gridlines only below? What then?

Is there any way to have the grid lines print out solid as opposed to the “dots” There doesn’t seem to be a choice with excel

Make sure you DO NOT have the “Draft Quality” check-box checked on the print setup screen–if you do, the gridlines will not print.

Alan again. Here’s a 99% solution. File/Page Set Up/ Tick gridlines/OK then put some characters in the bottom right cell (above the page break) and print
