Unit 2: Creating More Effective Spreadsheets
Lesson 7: Creating and Modifying Charts
How do you print a chart?
When you print a chart, the options you can specify are:
-
If the chart is part of a worksheet, you can print the chart alone or along
with the data in the worksheet.
-
Just as there are Page Setup options for printing word processing and spreadsheet
documents, there are Page Setup options for printing charts. When you select
to print a chart by itself, you have additional Page Setup options that
allow you to control the chart size and print quality.
There are many ways to print a chart. In fact, the fastest way to print
a chart requires only two mouse clicks. First, click on an open area of
the chart you want to print. Second, click on the 
icon on the toolbar.
For best results, we recommend the following procedure:
-
If you want to print the chart alone, select the chart. Otherwise, select
the sheet with the chart.
-
Select Print Preview to see what your document will look like when you
do print.
-
If you want to change any of the Page Setup options, select Page Setup.
-
When you are satisfied with the selected options, select Print....
The following animation shows an example of printing a chart by itself.

embedded chart.
