In the Page Setup dialog box, if the specified print area is less than one
page, and if you select the Fit To option, the page is printed at
100-percent scale. In other words, Microsoft Excel does not adjust the
scale of a print range greater than 100 percent to fill an entire page.
WORKAROUND
To fill an entire page with a specified print area that is
smaller than a single printed page, use either of the following
methods.
Method 1
In the Page Setup dialog box, click Adjust To, and select a scale that is
greater than 100 percent. This method does not insure that the print range
stays on one page, however.
Method 2
In Page Setup, select Fit To, and then manually size the rows and columns
within the print range to fill the page. (You can view the sheet in print
preview to see if the print range fills the page).
