    help with autofilter and page breaks when printing

    autofilter + page breaks = headache
    Hi All,

    I have a spreadsheet that is a basically a big table of text with several hundred rows.

    I need to be able to print it as a whole, so I've set up page breaks to let the entire table be printed out in a reasonable format.

    I would like to also be able to use autofilter on one of the columns to display and print only a subset of the rows.

    When I do this though, it seems to recognize all of the page breaks that are collapsed down in the filtered out areas and inserts blank pages in the middle of the print job.

    Is there any way to get around this behavior and cause it to print only the rows that the filter is allowing to be displayed?

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Why are you manually inserting any page breaks? You describe a "reasonable format" but that doesn't mean anything to us.

    Why not just let the sheet print out? If it's long, you are setting your column headers to print on every page in the File > Page Setup > Sheet > Rows to repeat at top menu, yes?
