(last updated August 25, 2018)

  1. Select the cell range you want to print.
  2. Display the Print dialog box. (See Figure 1.) (The easiest way to do this is to just press Ctrl+P.)

    3. Figure 1. The Print dialog box.

  3. In the Print What box, choose the Selection option.
  4. Click on the OK button.
