I have the feeling that this is really simple, but I'm having serious brain freeze. I am trying to print a spreadsheet. I would like it to print on a full page, but it is coming out really small, even though it is large enough on normal view. I have tried to change my font size, and pulled the document out completely to a larger size in normal view, but it still doesn't change when I do my print preview. I have tried to make my page breaks larger to fit the entire page hoping this would stretch it out to no avail. Even though I am using the Macintosh version, I am pretty sure the issue could be resolved the same way it would be in the Windows version. At least, I am hoping! TIA for any help!     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           Debra Dalgleish 4/23/2005 3:19 AM PST   Answer   Choose File>Page Setup On the Page tab, under Scaling, increase the 'Adjust to' percentage Click OK Keeper wrote: > Hi, > > I am using Microsoft Excel for Mac. > > I have the feeling that this is really simple, but I'm having serious brain > freeze. > > I am trying to print a spreadsheet.
