Introduction
It is possible to print as many as 16 Excel worksheets worksheets on a single page. It's also possible to print worksheets on the two sides of a single sheet. In a workbook with small amounts of related data on each of several worksheets, printing all of the worksheets on a single page may be the best way to review, reference, or capture that data.
