It doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming to lay out and print your Excel documents. Step-by-step, Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, demonstrates how to enable a full-screen print preview, use Excel’s Custom Views feature to apply different print settings, pick and choose worksheets you want to print, and more. David’s helpful tips will help you work faster and more efficiently in Excel.
David demonstrates every technique at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in Excel 2016. He draws your attention to any differences in Excel 2013, 2010, or 2007 during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.

.XLS: Spreadsheets compatible with Excel 2003 and earlier have a .XLS extension. Such spreadsheets can be used in Excel 2007 and later, but certain features will be disabled unless you convert the document to a newer format, such as .XLSX, .XLSM, or .XLSB.
.XLSB: A file with the XLSB file extension is an Excel Binary Workbook file. They store information in binary format instead of XML like with most other Excel files (like XLSX). Since XLSB files are binary, they can be read from and written to much faster, making them extremely useful for very large spreadsheets.
.XLSM : The .XLSM file extension signifies a Macro-Enabled Excel Workbook. Such workbooks may contain programming code that can automate repetitive tasks in Excel. If prompted, do not enable macros in .XLSM workbooks of unknown provenance because viruses and malware are sometimes transmitted by tricking users into opening such workbooks.
CELL Function: The CELL function is a built-in function in Excel that is categorized as an Information Function. It can be used as a worksheet function (WS) in Excel. As a worksheet function, the CELL function can be entered as part of a formula in a cell of a worksheet.
Chart: In Microsoft Excel, a chart is often called a graph. It is a visual representation of data from a worksheet that can bring more understanding to the data than just looking at the numbers. A chart is a powerful tool that allows you to visually display data in a variety of different chart formats such as Bar, Column, Pie, Line, Area, Doughnut, Scatter, Surface, or Radar charts.
Custom Views: This feature stores a snapshot of the hidden/visible status of columns, rows, and worksheets, along with print settings and filter settings.
Dialog Box: A dialog box in Excel is a screen where you input information and make choices about different aspects of the current worksheet or its content, such as data, charts, and graphic images.
Header/Footer : You can add headers or footers at the top or bottom of a printed worksheet in Excel. For example, you might create a footer that has page numbers, the date, and the name of your file. Headers and footers are displayed only in Page Layout view, Print Preview, and on printed pages.
Macro: One or more lines of programming code that automate tasks. The Macro Recorder allows users to automate tasks without seeing the underlying programming code.
Macro Recorder: A feature in Excel that allows you to transcribe actions you take in Excel into programming code.
PDF: Portable Document Format, a universal document format created by Adobe that allows cross-platform compatibility of documents.
Page Break: Page breaks are dividers that break a worksheet into separate pages for printing. Microsoft Excel inserts automatic page breaks based on the paper size, margin settings, scale options, and the positions of any manual page breaks that you insert.
Page Break Preview : You can see the range of cells that will be printed by selecting (View > Page Break Preview). This lets you see the print area clearly with all the page breaks identified. The White area denotes the area that will be printed.
Print Area: A print area is one or more ranges of cells that you designate to print when you don't want to print the entire worksheet. When you print a worksheet after defining a print area, only the print area is printed.
Print Preview : Print preview refers to formatting a document for the printer but then displaying it on the display screen instead of printing it.
Print Titles: Excel 2013's Print Titles feature enables you to print particular row and column headings on each page of the report. Print titles are important in multipage reports where the columns and rows of related data spill over to other pages that no longer show the row and column headings on the first page.
Quick Access Toolbar: A customizable shortcut toolbar that appears above the ribbon in Office 2007 and later.
Slicer Feature: A visual filtering feature available with pivot tables in Excel 2010 and tables and pivot tables in Excel 2013.
Visual Basic Editor : Excel’s development interface that can be used to edit and create macros, user forms, class modules, custom worksheet functions, and other enhancements to Excel’s functionality. The programming interface for Microsoft Excel that can be accessed by way of the Visual Basic command on Excel’s Developer tab or by pressing Alt-F11.
