Insert Page Break

If you dont want a row to print on a page by itself or you don't want a table header row to be the last line on a page. MS Excel gives you precise control over page breaks.

MS Excel handles page breaks automatically, but sometimes you may want to force a page break either a vertical or a horizontal one. so that the report prints the way you want.

For example, if your worksheet consists of several distinct sections, you may want to print each section on a separate sheet of paper.

Insert Horizontal Page Break

For example, if you want row 14 to be the first row of a new page, select cell A14. Then choose Page Layout » Page Setup Group » Breaks » Insert Page Break.

Insert Vertical Page Break

Remove Horizontal Page Breaks

Microsoft Excel allows you to insert the Page breaks horizontally or vertically wherever you want. Excel's page break feature permits you to add, remove, and reset all the page breaks for the worksheets. For example, multiple statistical charts are created on the same worksheet.

To overcome this issue, you can set the page breaks so that each chart comes on a different page.
