How to Extend Margins in Excel

1. Open the Microsoft Excel 2010 spreadsheet that you want to alter.
2. Click the 'Page Layout' tab at the top of the screen. Locate the 'Page Setup' area on the ribbon and click the 'Margins' button found there. Click 'Custom Margins' from the menu that appears.
3. Click the up and down arrows next to each of the four major margins to adjust the margin for that side of the paper. You can also adjust the margins for the header and footer, making them larger or making them so small that they disappear.
4. Click the 'Print Preview' button once you have extended your margins, to ensure that the final product has the look that you want. If the margins are not correct, click the 'Page Layout' tab again and choose 'Custom Margins' again to go back to the margins screen.
