If you do change several of the things listed in the /Print
menu, Lotus l-2-3 will remember the selections that you have
made and use them each time you print the spreadsheet. They
are even saved with the spreadsheet so that they will be the
same the next time that you use the spreadsheet.
You can specify the range to print in all the normal ways:
by pointing, by typing the cell addresses of the endpoints, by
entering a range name, or by using the F3 key to point to a
range name.
After you have specified a range to print, and changing any
of the other options that you wish, start printing the spread-
sheet by selecting the Go option. Lotus l-2-3 will split the
spreadsheet into sections to fit onto pages if it won’t all tit
on one page.
Let’s look at some of the other options on the /Print menu,
and see how they add to the flexibility of printing spreadsheets.
The Line option advances the paper one line. Use this to
put space between different sections of your spreadsheets when
you print them. The Page option advances the paper to the
top of a new page. Use this option to start on a new page.
Selecting the Align option tells Lotus l-2-3 that you have
moved the paper to the top of a new page. Use this option
after using the Paper Feed key to move the paper or after
inserting a new single sheet of paper.
The Clear option allows you to clear any or all of the other
options that you have selected. The Quit option ends the /Print
command and returns you to Ready Mode.
Selecting Options from the /Print menu presents you with
some additional page format selections.
You can add Headers or Footers to each page of your output.
A header is a line that prints at the top of each page, while
a footer is a line that prints at the bottom of each page.
Lotus l-2-3 has three characters that perform special func-
tions when they are included in a header or a footer. You can
include sequential page numbers on each page by including
the # character where you want the page number to print (For
example, Page #).
The current date will be printed if you include the @; character
in a header or footer. (For example: As of (4.)
