If you have the need to define different areas of a worksheet to print, you know that you can do so by simply defining different print areas in your worksheet. The normal way you do this is to select the range of cells you want in the print area, display the Page Layout tab of the ribbon, click the Print Area tool (in the Page Setup group), and then choose Set Print Area.
If you need to change print areas quite often, these steps may get tiresome. You may be interested in speeding things up a bit by adding a tool to the Quick Access toolbar that defines the print area. Follow these steps:

Now, when you need to set a print area, you simply choose the area on the screen and click on the Set Print Area button.

To save a bit of time, instead of scrolling down to the desired command make sure the cursor is anywhere in the command list and press the key with the letter corresponding to the first letter in the command. In this example, press "s" and you'll see the first command starting with "s". Scroll down from there to the command you want to add to the quick access toolbar.
