Hi Caggym,
Print Setup allows editing of only the page headers and page footers. These headers are not visible while you are in the 'regular' mode as 'pages' are not defined except when printing.
Print Setup also includes a setting for expanding or reducing the scale at which the document will print, and adjusting this may give yu a better fit.
You can add guidelines to the Sheet, indicating where the page breaks will come, but the actual break is not a 'fixed' position. Numbers puts the 'real' page breaks at the right and bottom boundaries of the last column and row that will fit within the print area specified by paper size minus space allotted for margins and page headers and footers. If you have tables set to repeat header rows or columns on each page, that also removes the height of the header rows and width of the header columns from the available print area.
Add a millimetre to the width of a 3cm wide column almost touching the right boundary of the printable area, and that whole column jumps to the next page when printed, leaving an extra 3cm of right margin on the first page.
If your Print Setup looks like this, with only a single column and a few rows (plus the repeated header row and column) pushing a second page…
…then the easiest fix is to click the Fit button in the Content Scale section of the Print Setup side bar…
…which reduces the scale of the image (in this case to 94% of its original size) to fit the print area available on one page.
For large tables or sheets with many objects, there is no easy solution.
If you want to try guidelines, they are easy to place on the sheet, and easy to move once they are there.
Start with a trip to the View Menu to choose Show Rulers.
Note that in Numbers, 0 on the ruler is the left edge of the document, not the left side of a printed page—guidelines need to approximate the width and height of the available print area.
For a vertical guideline, place the pointer in the vertical ruler.
Click and hold—the pointer changes to a pair of vertical bars with attached arrows pointing left and right.
Drag right, and use the horizontal ruler to place the guideline where it i needed.
For a horizontal guideline, use the same instructions with 'horizontal' replacing 'vertical' and vice versa.
Regards,
Barry
