Them's
the Breaks
When working with
MS Excel worksheets, do you find yourself constantly flipping into Print
Preview to see exactly where Excel will put the page breaks?
Or maybe you don't
wait for Excel to place them and you insert the breaks manually.
I don't know about you, but
I usually wait to see where Excel wants to put them and then make adjustments
only when necessary.
But, there are times
when I'd like to see what Excel's plans are pertaining to page breaks.
So, is there a way to have Excel display the page breaks right in the
worksheet?
Of course, the answer
is yes and that's what we're here to look at today.
The setting for page
breaks is in the Tools menu, Options
choice.
In the Options window,
you need the View tab.

In the Window options
section, select the Page breaks checkbox and click OK.
That's it. When you
return to the worksheet, you'll see page breaks represented by dotted
lines in the workbook, which will remove the "where will they be"
mystery of Excel's page breaks!
