Head to the Print group on the Layout tab of the Office 2011 for Mac Ribbon, and you’ll find the printing tools you’ll use most often when printing from Excel 2011 for Mac: Preview: Displays a preview of your document in the Mac OS X Preview application. To see a preview of what your printed page will look like in Mac OS X Lion, choose Open PDF in Preview from the PDF pop-up menu in the bottom-left corner of.

Then I saw the site referred to. You're off the hook.

It seems that the development team missed out some useful basic functions from XL 2004 when they created XL 2008 - was this deliberate or just an omission? As I understand it, it was deliberate.
For all Office apps, the OS performs the printing functions - the apps call the OS print routines and send them whatever needs to be printed. Since Tiger and Leopard have full Preview functions, there's little or no compelling reason to design and implement an internal Print Preview that has to mimic system functions, and therefore runs the risk of differing from the actual printed output if something changes in the System. While I liked Print Preview, it makes a certain sense to me. Posted:, 10:43 PM On Jan 27, 9:44 am, 'alanitech' wrote: Hrm. This technique really isn't comparable to 'Page Break Preview', which dynamically changed the print scaling while I manually dragged the page breaks to where I wanted them.
Using 'insert page break' can't achieve that sort of precision. Maybe there's a way to reproduce this using Visual Bas - oops!

I would like to add my own disappointment over the removal of the 'Page Break Preview' function. I used it all the time, and found it much easier than doing everything manually. The Page Break feature also helped to ensure that I could maximize my type size by perfectly scaling the documenentt based on where I placed the breaks. Will this manual insertion automatically scale the text (usually down in size) as I was able to achieve in previous versions with 'Page Break Preview'? Posted:, 01:27 AM wrote: Hrm.

No, and that's my point. To scale the text (and everything else), you need to use File.Page Setup, and enter either a percentage value for scaling or 'fit to' value for pages. Message posted via MacKB.com.
