Be able to set the orientation to portrait or landscape

20 Spreadsheets

Setting Page Orientation 📄

In a spreadsheet, the page orientation decides how the sheet will look when you print it. Just like choosing a book’s cover direction, you can pick either Portrait (tall) or Landscape (wide).

1. Open the spreadsheet you want to print.
2. Click on File → Print (or press Ctrl+P).
3. In the print preview window, look for the Orientation option.
4. Choose Portrait if you need a tall layout, or Landscape for a wider view.
5. Click Print to finish.

⚠️ Tip: If you have a long table or a big chart, Landscape usually looks better because it gives more horizontal space.

When to Use Each Orientation 📊

🧩 Analogy: Think of Portrait as a tall pencil (good for lists) and Landscape as a wide ruler (great for charts). Pick the one that fits your data best!
