Excel.Tips.Net: Specifying an Order for Page Printing

By Allen Wyatt for Excel.Tips.Net

When the information you have in worksheet won’t fit on a single page, Excel automatically breaks it up—at row or column boundaries—and prints the information on multiple pages. You can control the order in which Excel prints pages.
