You may want to print multiple pages of your Excel worksheet on a single piece of paper. You can accomplish this by following these steps:

  1. Display the Page Layout tab of the ribbon.
  2. Click the small icon at the lower-right corner of the Page Setup group. Excel displays the Page Setup dialog box.
  3. Click on the Options button. Excel displays the printer's Properties dialog box. (See Figure 1.)

    4. Figure 1. The printer’s Document Properties dialog box.

  4. Using the Pages Per Sheet control, specify how many pages you want printed on each sheet of paper.
  5. Click on OK to dismiss the printer's Properties dialog box.
  6. Click on OK to dismiss the Page Setup dialog box.

Depending on your printer, you may need to look around through the available tabs to locate one that has a Pages Per Sheet control or a Multiple Page control.

I've tried to get 2 sheets onto 1 page. I get the dialogue you describe above and set it for 2. The picture on the right shows 2 sheets but when I return to print preview it still shows 2 pages. (see Figure 1 below)
