    Excel 2011 for Mac -- Fit Spreadsheet to Page

    Hi,

    This is not really the best place to ask for help relating to Macs, but seeing as this is a Microsoft forum anyways, I might as well just ask.

    Anyways, I have a spreadsheet that logs some activities that I've done for my Eagle Scout service project.

    It only has 7 columns and 23 rows. What I want to do is fit the spreadsheet to the entire page. "Fit to" in "Page Setup" is set to 1, but the spreadsheet is still too small. Which begs the question: shouldn't Excel AUTOMATICALLY enlarge the spreadsheet to fit the page?

    Please help! And in advance, thank you!
    Do not read this sentence.
    You read that last one, didn't you?
    Darn. You now read the previous two.

    Not sure if this would help but try setting the orientation to "Landscape" and adjust to 130% normal size (adjust that until you find the percentage that suits).

    Did you set the print area for the sheet?

    fit-to only shrinks, not enlarges.
    the only way you can make it bigger is change the cell size and the font size.

    you should be able to highlight the entire spreadsheet (click the upper-left) and set properties of each cell at the same time to resize them all at once bigger.

    I don't think changing the zoom level will help since it will still print the same size.
