Excel allows you to quickly convert your worksheet data into snazzy charts. (You know—a picture is worth a thousand worksheet cells.) Once your chart looks just the way you want it to, you may be wondering exactly how to get the best results when printing it. In many ways, printing a chart is the same as printing a worksheet, but with a few subtle differences. If you are not printing to a color printer, the first thing you will want to do is make sure you use the Print Preview feature to see what your chart will appear like in black and white.
If there is not enough contrast between different parts of your chart, you will want to make changes to either the colors or patterns used within the chart so there is a better contrast and your printed chart will look better. When you are ready to print your chart, the easiest method is to simply press Ctrl+P. Excel displays the Print dialog box, with which you are probably already familiar. (See Figure 1.) The information at the top of the dialog box indicates where your chart will be printed. If this is not the printer you want to use, choose a different printer using the drop-down list. The Print dialog box.
How can the answer be improved? Excel - print comments as displayed. If your notes closely relate to the cell information, it may be ineffective to print them at the end of a sheet. In this case you can print comments in Excel 2010-2016 as displayed in your table. Open your table in Excel, go to the Review tab and click on the Show All Comments option.

The actual information and options available in the Print dialog box can vary depending on the type of printer you are using. Different printers have different capabilities, and Windows takes advantage of these capabilities as much as possible. In general, however, you can use this dialog box to select the number of copies you want to print, along with which pages you want to print. One of the other things you can specify is what you want sent to the printer. This is done by making a selection in the Print What box.
By default, this field is set to Active Sheet(s), typically meaning that only the current worksheet will be printed (the one containing your chart). By changing this field, you can also specify that only a Selection be printed or that your Entire Workbook is printed. (You should note that the Selection option will only be available if you are printing a worksheet containing an embedded chart; it is not available when printing a chart sheet.) When you are satisfied with what you want to print, click on the OK button. Excel sends your information to the printer, as you have directed.

Select the 'Sheet Options' group and click on the 'Print' check box under 'Gridlines.' Preview the grid lines to view how they will print by pressing the 'Ctrl+F2' keys to open the Print Preview window. Remember that grid lines are only designed to print around inputted data in a worksheet. To print grid lines around empty cells you must change the print area.
Select the empty cells on the worksheet that you want to include with grid lines as well. Go to the 'Page Layout' tab. In the 'Page Setup' group, select 'Print Area' and then click 'Add to Print Area.' Go to the Microsoft Excel button for the 2007 version and click 'Print.'

Download the latest driver for your printer from the manufacturer's website if the grid lines still are not printing. Sometimes a problem with the printer driver interferes with printing instructions. Change and apply borders to the cells if you are having trouble with grid lines.
