[CTRL] + [A]
Drop down Fill Color > Change to black
[CTRL] + [P]
[ENTER]
But won’t excel detect there’s no values and no print anything?
I think it has logic to only print pages which have values.
Type “.” In A1
Change the fill colour of A1 to Black
[CTRL] + [A] (Selects all cells)
[CTRL] + [R] (Copy’s the left most selected column across to the right most select column)
[CTRL] + [D] (Copy’s the top most selected column down to the bottom most select column)
Every cell will now contain the value “.” and be set to fill colour black.
Right click any of the column letters at the top > Set width > 1000. (Changes the column width to 1000 pixels. (Expanding the cells so they take up more room when printing)
Right click any of the row numbers at the left hand side > Set height > 1000. (Changes the row height to 1000 pixels. (Expanding the cells so they take up more room when printing)
[CTRL] + [P] (Opens up the print dialog)
[ENTER] (Selects the print button to start printing)
What does ctrl+p do?
Oh my god we finally did it, we finally went paperless as a species for long enough that someone doesn’t know what a printer is. I never thought I’d live to see the day, but it makes me very happy that we’ve finally gotten here.
It's entirely possible they just click the printer icon to print things. A lot of people do not use hotkeys
I've just thought of a new internet game..
I call it "Zoomer or Boomer?"
It pulls up the print document page on 99% of programs where it's relevant
Only if the printer is hooked up, otherwise it creates a new tab. You are making some very dangerous assumptions.
