When using Show Scale, the most common questions are about print impact, gesture response, and whether the view scale is saved; this section covers 3 frequent questions.
FAQ
Does the view scale affect print output?
- The view scale only changes how large the worksheet appears on screen.
- Print output still follows the page setup and print settings.
- If you need to control printed results, adjust the print-related settings instead of relying on the current view scale.
What should I do if two-finger zoom is not responsive?
- Make sure the gesture is performed inside the spreadsheet editing area.
- Avoid touching the toolbar, scroll bars, or other interface elements at the same time.
- If the issue continues, reopen the app or check whether touch input on the device is working normally.
Can the view scale be saved and restored automatically the next time I open the file?
- The current view scale cannot be saved as a separate long-term setting.
- After reopening the file, the worksheet usually returns to its default view scale.
- If you need a steadier viewing experience, you can also use features such as Freeze Panes to keep key areas easier to review.
