Hoping that someone can help with this.

I'm trying to print out a small worksheet on a '11x17' sheet. I've set the
print area to the size I want and I have the scaling set to scale to '1
sheet wide x one sheet high' and the layout to 'landscape'. But there's no
scaling happening. Cells still show up in a small corner of the sheet.
I've never seen this behavior in any previous version. Any suggestions?

Dab,

Please look into 'Page Setup' command under 'File' Menu... There will be a
'Scaling' section in 'Page' tab. Now, check the 'Adjust to ____ % of normal
size' option available just above the "set to scale to 1 sheet wide x one
sheet high" option. If you increase the % there, you may get this issue
fixed...

Thanks for your note Don, but like I mentioned in my original post, I've set
the print area. That's not the problem.

Hi:

There isn't a 'file' menu in 2007 - not really (you can set it up with the
old style menus but I've opted to learn the new - albeit, bizarre - set of
menus).

In any case, I took your suggestion of using a percentage and it works.
Thanks.
