Final answer:
To remove automatic page breaks in Excel, switch to 'Page Break Preview' in the 'View' tab and drag the breaks out of the print area. Adjust the print settings if necessary to prevent Excel from adding new automatic breaks. Remember to switch back to 'Normal' view once you are done.
Step-by-step explanation:
To remove an automatic page break in Excel, you'll first need to switch to 'Page Break Preview' by going to the 'View' tab on the ribbon and selecting 'Page Break Preview.' Here, you can see all the automatic page breaks that Excel has inserted based on your current print settings.
Next, you can adjust these by clicking and dragging the page breaks to the desired location. However, if you want to remove them completely, you would have to adjust the print area or scale the sheet so that Excel no longer adds automatic breaks. Adjusting manual page breaks is easier—you simply drag them outside the print area to delete them.
Remember, Excel inserts automatic page breaks based on the paper size, margin settings, and scaling options. If adjusting these settings is not helping, consider checking if your content can be reformatted to fit better on the printed page. Finally, to exit 'Page Break Preview', go back to the 'View' tab and select 'Normal'.
