Title: printable format problem
Post by: lifzgud on 05 May 2010 08:03:23 AM
Hi,
I am creating list report with output as excel 2000 single sheet.I am facing two problems when printing the reports.
1)The columns are exceeding the page size and as a result some columns are missing in the print.
2)I have enabled page breaks but excel doesn't implement the page break.i.e new section doesn't goto new page.
Please help. ???

The excel outputs are deigned to provide the report output live in excel, rather than as a form that is designed to be printed.  Is there a specific reason why you must use this rendering format - PDF would give a much better printed format and would give you access to lots of good pagination options.
