You can watch a video tutorial here.

Excel offers many options when it comes to printing worksheets. As the layout is in the form of a spreadsheet and not a document, it is not immediately apparent how the printout will appear. There may be a situation where you want to print only a section of a worksheet and not the entire worksheet.
