FAQ
The spreadsheet has only one column but the content is long. Should I use portrait or landscape?
- Check whether the content is mainly meant for vertical reading.
- If it is mostly long single-column text or vertically structured information, choose Portrait first.
- If you need to show more horizontal content on one page, try Landscape and review the preview.
Can I apply a different paper orientation to only part of a spreadsheet?
- In the current spreadsheet print flow, paper orientation is adjusted for the current print page settings.
- A single spreadsheet usually uses one orientation within the same print setup.
- If you need different orientations, consider splitting the content and printing it separately.
Why should I still check the preview after changing orientation?
- Orientation changes affect how many columns fit on a page and how page breaks are arranged.
- Actual output may vary with different printers or paper settings.
- Reviewing the preview helps reduce repeated printing and paper waste.
