select a print area

Hi Abraham,

Select the cells you want to print. Copy.

Launch Preview. Press Command-N (or go File > New from Clipboard)

Press command-P.

Hi Abraham,

Preview is an app.

You can find it in Launchpad.

HI Abraham,

Something to tuck away for future reference:

The key word in that sentence is "launch," which almost always refers to starting an application.

Thanks !

Hi Abraham,

Barry's solution (print through Preview) will work if you want to select and print a small area of a large table.

Numbers has a different approach from the Excel paradigm of huge Sheets that require setting a Print Area.

In Numbers, the approach is to have several discrete tables, each with a common theme. For example, a small input table, a large database table (that you can hide on its own sheet if you have no need to print it) and summary tables that display results. Each summary table can be arranged on a "Presentation" sheet, or each on its own sheet together with charts (graphs) and so on. Then arrange each "Presentation" sheet for printing on paper or displaying on screen.

Just a different (non-Excel) way of thinking about how we want to show our results...

Ian.

This worked for me, genius! Thank you 🙂

Move the Numbers window on your screen to show the area to be printed

Then use print screen

That numbers has no ability to print selected range is woeful.

This enables getting around that - clumsy and inefficient but better than nothing.

From now on I'll use Excel
