You may have a need at times to print out a group of selections from different worksheets and have them appear on a single sheet of paper. Perhaps the easiest way to do this is to simply set up a "consolidation" worksheet that you would actually use for your printing. Follow these general directions:
Figure 1. The Paste Special dialog box.
The one big drawback to this approach is that if the worksheets from which you are copying have radically different formatting, you may not be able to merge them into a consolidated worksheet satisfactorily. (You will need to adjust the formatting in the consolidation sheet after pasting the different ranges.) In this case you may need to adjust formatting to get exactly the effect you desire.

Another option is to use the camera tool (which can be added to the quick access toolbar from the list of commands not in the ribbon).
On the source sheet (which will need to be unprotected while capturing the area desired), you can select the desire block and then click the camera tool. Switch to the destination sheet and click to paste a link dynamic image. The image can be moved, resized, and cropped, etc. The image is linked to the source so changes to the source region will also appear in the linked image.
Advantage would be to use it where different column widths and row heights make the paste link of cells hard to position on one page.

Bill,
Excellent idea to paste and link onto a PowerPoint slide, the formatting is independent on each slide and I don't have to worry about formatting for each page.
Also, my team will not have to print it; but rather use the ppt directly onto their presentations... saving a lot of paper.
Thanks a lot for this tip, you just solved us three problems with this alternate solution.

As another option, you could cut and paste to a Word document or PowerPoint slide.
Got a version of Excel that uses the ribbon interface (Excel 2007 or later)? This site is for you! If you use an earlier version of Excel, visit our ExcelTips site focusing on the menu interface.
