EXCEL Page Break preview shrinks unnecessary rows/columns

Whenever I set the document to
PageSetup.FitToPagesWide = 1
PageSetup.FitToPagesTall = 2

It fills up the entire page. However, once I use the “Page Break preview” it automatically reduces the size of all rows/columns on page one, even there is still enough space on both sides of the page.

I only want to add a page break. Why does it have to make it smaller?

Any solution?

Thanks
 
Did you try dragging the "blue" page divider lines up or down? Also, you could try using the scale option to adjust the % size of the reduction.
 
That’s the first thing I did. That is the page breaker.

Also, I f you use the adjust to %, you can not use the FitToPagesWide. In addition, I prefer to use the FitToPagesWide, since not all pages has the same number of columns.

Thanks
 
Sorry about that. Have you tried adjusting the print margins and/or col widths, sometimes dragging a col width smaller may give it the room it needs to increase the size of the overall page.
 
I appreciate your help.
Yes. I always set the Margin to the largest as possible, as well I always use the auto fit for all columns.
Thanks
 
Are you saying that the printed output is tiny, or just that the view on screen (Page Break Preview) is tiny?

If you just mean the screen view is tiny: Go to Print Preview and then use the button labelled "Normal View".

-Why use a big word when a diminutive one will do?-
 
The entire output becomes smaller and all the columns becomes bigger and I need to set again the Auto fit.
Thanks
