I've made a sign-in sheet with numbers, but it's in portrait orientation.
How do I change it to landscape orientation? I've looked under
"Inspector," but there's no such "button." Help! đ

That's right.
In the page preview, you can choose how to use the paper, but it does not change the table's size or layout.
The table should be "horizontal" to fill the page of paper in landscape mode.
As you already know, it can be done by one or combination of â
Here's the screen shot of my sign-in sheet spreadsheet in landscape mode.
But I think I have the solution... If I add more columns and more rows, then
it would fill out the "wide" sheet of printer paper, right?
Do you mean that you cannot switch to landscape mode on step 2?
Is there any problem to do it?

Where do you see the sign?
Please post the screenshot if possible, like I did on my first post. It may help to make the situation clear.
1. take screenshot of the window by following instruction on this link

2. Use Preview to hide confidential information ( with "Anotate" in "Tools" menu ) if necessary.
3. Back here click the camera icon (on tool bar) then select the screenshot file to insert it in the posting message.

There should be several steps to print.
Here is a step by step instruction to print a document (or sheet).
Please show where you could not follow.
After step 3, you can click "Done" button instead of "Print..." to save the change without printing the document.
I followed every step. When I got to sliding the content scale, I got
a portrait-oriented sheet on a wide piece of paper, but at least it fit.
It wasn't chopped up into 2 pieces on 2 pieces of paper, but it was
still the portrait oriented sign in sheet -- now much smaller so it could
fit on the wide piece of paper.
Is there a landscape-oriented spreadsheet that I could use from the
start? This seems nuts...
It seems counter intuitive (to me) but you must enter print set up mode (as described earlier) by selecting the menu item "File > Print". Then, you can set up as needed. If you just want to change the orientation, select landscape, then click the button "Done" (bottom right) rather than click the the button "Print"
do NOT hold the option key then selecting the menu item "File > Print" as this will skip the print set up
Yes, I did go thru File > Print in order to do this, but I saw it as "upright" / "portrait"
sitting on a too-wide piece of paper. But as I said in my other post (just now), I
think I see the answer: more columns (or wider columns) and more rows (though
not necessarily). Just make it "bigger" in terms of columns, and then it will "fit" the
landscape-oriented printer paper. Right...?
In response to your question, "Where do you see the sign," that was
my fault. I left out a hyphen. It was "portrait-oriented sign-in sheet."
i.e., a sign-in sheet that is "vertical" as opposed to "horizontal." My
whole aim was to get a "horizontal" / landscape-oriented sign-in
sheet. And I now think the solution is wider or more columns.
Choose "Print ..." from File menu. (or, type command-P)
You'll get into the preview page (as shown below) where you can select the page orientation.

Yep, that's what I finally figured out. Duh, me. :-) Thanks for everyone's efforts!!
