Printing Reports

Summary: The Report Manager allows you to create specialized reports that can be easily printed from your worksheet data. This tip explains how, exactly, to go about printing those reports. (This tip works with Microsoft Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002, and Excel 2003.)

Printing a report you have defined with the Report Manager is both quick and easy. Just follow these steps:

Select the Report Manager option from the View menu. Excel displays the Report Manager dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
Select a report from the list of defined reports.
Click on the Print button. Excel displays the Print dialog box.
Use the controls in the dialog box to specify the parameters you want used when printing, such as the number of copies.
Click your mouse on the OK button. Excel saves the current condition of the workbook and starts printing the report sections.

As Excel is printing your report, you are kept informed on the status bar, of each step being performed. When the printing is complete, you are returned to your workbook, exactly where you were before you started to print the report.
