How to select the printing area in WPS
In daily office work, when using WPS tables to process data, it is often necessary to print part of the content rather than the entire worksheet. Knowing how to select a print area can save paper and increase efficiency. This article will introduce in detail the method of setting the printing area in WPS forms, and attach relevant operating steps and precautions.
1. Basic steps for setting the print area of WPS forms

The following is the specific operation process for setting the printing area:
| steps | Operating Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the WPS table and select the data area to be printed (drag the mouse to select cells). |
| 2 | Click the [Page Layout] tab on the top menu bar. |
| 3 | In the [Page Setup] group, find the [Print Area] button. |
| 4 | Click the [Print Area] drop-down menu and select [Set Print Area]. |
| 5 | At this time, the selected area will be marked by a dotted box, indicating that it has been set as the printing area. |
2. Common problems and solutions
When setting the print area, you may encounter the following problems:
| question | Solution |
|---|---|
| Print area is not effective | Check whether the cells have been selected correctly and confirm that you clicked [Set Print Area]. |
| Print content is out of range | Adjust the cell range of the print area, or check the layout through [Print Preview]. |
| Cancel printing area | Click the [Print Area] drop-down menu and select [Cancel Print Area]. |
3. Other practical skills
In addition to basic printing area settings, WPS Forms also provides some advanced features:
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Multi-area printing | Hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple discontinuous areas, and then set the print area. |
| Print title row | Select [Print Title] in [Page Layout] to set the title row to be displayed repeatedly. |
| Adjust page margins | Adjust the page margins through [Page Setup] to ensure that the content is printed completely. |
4. Precautions
1. Before setting the printing area, it is recommended to check the effect through [Print Preview] to avoid wasting paper.
2. If the table contains a lot of content, you can try scaling the printing ratio so that the content fits the paper size.
3. The print area setting is only valid for the current worksheet. If you need to print multiple worksheets, you need to set them separately.
