The Page Setup group helps to set Printing for worksheet documents. Especially, a Margin is the amount space/blank area, that is left in printing pages. The reason for doing so is that, the documents should remain uncluttered.

And, if we’ll not set any margin, the whole printing page will get fill up with the content. In addition, a page has the Top Margin and the Bottom Margin. Also, it has the Left Margin and the Right Margin with a Header and a Footer.

Significantly, we can increase or decrease the margins, depending upon the requirements. The Margins buttons sets the Normal, the Wide and the Narrow margins of a page. So, the default preset dimensions in Centimeters for the Margins’re mentioned below.

• Normal
  • Top: 1.91 cm
  • Bottom: 1.91 cm
  • Left: 1.78 cm
  • Right: 1.78 cm
  • Header: 0.76 cm
  • Footer: 0.76 cm
• Wide
  • Top: 2.54 cm
  • Bottom: 2.54 cm
  • Left: 2.54 cm
  • Right: 2.54 cm
  • Header: 1.27 cm
  • Footer: 1.27 cm
• Narrow
  • Top: 1.91 cm
  • Bottom: 1.91 cm
  • Left: 0.64 cm
  • Right: 0.64 cm
  • Header: 0.76 cm
  • Footer: 0.76 cm

Further, the rotations for a page, is set using the Orientation button. If we need a Horizontal Print of the Page, then the Landscape Option should be selected. And, the Portrait Option sets the Vertical Print of a Page.

Furthermore, the Size button which has the preset Page types, is also necessary while printing pages. Generally, the A3 Size and the A4 Size for both orientation views’re commonly used. Then, the Print Area button has the Set Print Area and the Clear Print Area options .

By using the Set Print Area, users can select and mark a range of cells for printing; before going to the Print Preview. And, the Clear Print Area helps to remove the area, marked for range of cells for printing.

Even more, the Breaks button helps to insert a area break in a page. This helps to start the next most page from that break for printing. Then, the Background button helps to insert an image, picture or photo in a sheet. But the the Rows and Columns show above this inserted picture.

Lastly, the Print Titles helps to select the Rows and Columns; which gets repeated at the top of a page every time while printing. So, by using the Print Titles button we’re able to print; the Top Title of the First Page on top of all the other Pages.
