Hello! How do I adjust the margins so I can maximize the space on my worksheet? I already maxed out the allowable adjustment/s encircled in yellow. Is there any other way that I can stretch the worksheet?


Thank you.

Adjusted the Scale and left document margin settings to make the table as large as possible without any rows or columns jumping to a second page, then bumped up the left document margin setting to centre the table on the page.




Easy with a document that is going to print to a single page, but getss more complicted with a multi-page pront result.

Barry

Even after you click the 'Fit' button? I can't reproduce that here.


Perhaps you are trying to print only part of a sheet but your sheet is too big to fit? If so, you might consider selecting the area of a table you want to print, typing command-c to copy, launching the Preview App, and typing command-n to start a new document. Then print that.

"But whenever I adjust the left margin and the scale, It jumps to another page."


Had you noticed how small the right margin is, compared to the left margin in my example?


Left margin controls the position of the left side of the table.

Right margin triggers when the last column will jump to the right (and onto the next page in that direction).


My two goals when setting the margins (and the scale) are to leave enough room on the right side to keep the table on one page, then adjust the left margin to push the table to the visual horizontal centre of the page. The five settings (scale, and four margins) shown in the right sidebar gave the result I was looking for.
