XL2000: Using "Fit To" Option Does Not Increase Scale to Fill Page

ID: Q214257

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Excel 2000

SYMPTOMS

In the Page Setup dialog box, if the specified print area is less than one page, and if you select the Fit To option, the page is printed at 100-percent scale. In other words, Microsoft Excel does not adjust the scale of a print range greater than 100 percent to fill an entire page.

WORKAROUND

To fill an entire page with a specified print area that is smaller than a single printed page, use either of the following methods.

Method 1

On the File menu, click Page Setup. In the Page Setup dialog box, click Adjust To, and select a scale that is greater than 100 percent. This method does not insure that the print range stays on one page, however.

Method 2

On the File menu, click Page Setup. In the Page Setup dialog box, click Fit To, and then manually size the rows and columns within the print range to fill the page. (You can view the sheet in print preview to see if the print range fills the page).
