Ability supports a variety of print options, depending on which printer you are using. The print options don’t alter the way your spreadsheet looks on screen, although the effect of the options can be seen in Preview.
To access the print options:
Select Print from the File menu and then click on the Options button in the Print dialog box.
This will open the Print Options box, which displays a range of options specific to your particular printer (see below).
Once you have set your options, click on OK to return to the Print dialog box. You can click on the Preview button to see how your spreadsheet will look when printed.
Here are some typical options, most of which can be turned on or off by clicking on a checkbox:
Workbook:
Gridlines can be displayed or hidden.
Column and Row headings can be displayed or hidden.
A Color palette enables you to choose a color for the gridlines.
Objects:
OLE, Picture, Write FX and Chart can be Shown, Hidden or indicated by Placeholders (small boxes which show where the object without displaying the objects themselves).
Cells:
Cell Backgrounds
Text Colors
Formulas (rather than their results)
Print Error Values (error messages)
Print Zeros
Miscellaneous:
Skip Empty Pages
Print Header
Print Footer
Print in grayscale
Once you have set your options, click on OK to close the print Option box and return to the Print box. View your changes by clicking on the Preview button before printing
