Page setup

When you start a new spreadsheet certain settings are automatically set, such as the page is set to portrait, with certain margins around the spreadsheet. We looked earlier at how the margins can be changed in order to make a document fit to a page more easily.

However, you may need to change these settings for one of your spreadsheets to make its appearance more suitable. To do this you use the Page Setup function:

1		Go to the File menu;
2		Choose the option Page Setup

There are four different sections to the page setup function; they include Margins, Paper Size, Paper Source and Layout. For the time being we will just look at Margins and Paper Size. You may recall that we covered this topic in the word processing module. The same changes can be made to a spreadsheet as they can to a document.
