How to Horizontally Center a Printed Spreadsheet in Excel 2013

November 26, 2018 By Matt Jacobs

When you build a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel 2013, your initial concern is often with the data that you enter. It’s important that the data is correct and in an understandable state so that it can be evaluated correctly by interested parties.

But sometimes you need to print that spreadsheet, and the default print settings for Excel 2013 typically need some adjustment if you want a spreadsheet that looks good and is easy to read. One setting that can be beneficial to change for this purpose is the horizontal centering of the data. This puts your spreadsheet at the center of the page, which usually makes it look better. Our tutorial below will show you where to find this option.

The steps in this article were performed in Microsoft Excel 2013, but will also work in a number of other versions of Excel as well.

We are focusing specifically on centering horizontally, but there is also a vertical centering option on the menu if you would like to that instead or in addition to the horizontal centering.

Step 2: Click the Page Layout tab at the top of the window.

This article will show you how to adjust your margins if you find that there is too much white space around your spreadsheet when you print it. This can be useful for fitting more information on a page and reducing the amount of pages that a single spreadsheet needs when it is printed.
