how to print selected cells in numbers

Does anyone know how to print selected cells in a Numbers spreadsheet, rather than printing the entire sheet?

Also, how to save the selected cells as a pdf file without saving the irrelevant cells?

Jan,

The two questions use the same basic answer. In OS X, printing an Object Selection is easily handled in Preview.app, and the native file type there is PDF.

Here's the procedure:

Select the cell range in Numbers and Command-C to copy it to the Clipboard

Launch or switch to Preview.app

Command-N to create a PDF file from the Clipboard content

Command-P to Print

Command-S to save the PDF file

Regards,

Jerry

Hi Jumpsystems,

Numbers can't do what we want!

Have you tried SG's suggestion?

Highly recommend checking out the templates as they contain many good ideas on how to get the most out of Numbers

Please reply with what you want to do. Numbers is not Excel. Numbers is table-based. You may find that several small tables will work for you.

Regards,

Ian.
