Excel page break not working
On the Page Layout tab of the ribbon, click the little arrow in the lower right corner of the Page Setup group.
In the Page tab of the Page Setup dialog, check whether the sheet has been set up to fit into 1 page wide by 1 page tall.
In the Sheet tab of this dialog, check whether a print area has been specified.
RCully But your initial post was that you didn't have the "Automatic" setting. Now you mention that Excel doesn't automatically print 1 high by 2 wide. Well, isn't that obvious?
Played around a little with page setup and it seems that "Automatic" scaling sets the pages to max 640 pixels wide and max 960 pixels high. Leaving it to Automatic will, in your case, print 8 by 8. If that's not what you want you need to override the Automatic setting and explicitly tell Excel to print 1 wide by 2 high. And when you have done that, you will notice that the scaling percentage will have automatically been set to whatever scaling achieves that. No need to do that by trial and error.
Riny_van_Eekelen due to me not knowing how to reply to you tag name, I don't think you read my previous response. But thanks for your perseverance anyway.
RCully I did see your previous post but didn't see it as a question. Therefore, I did not respond. In case you want to send me a direct message, right-click on the circle with my picture in it and select Message.
