The document provides instructions for setting up an Excel spreadsheet to print 400 placecards. It involves adjusting column widths and row heights, copying formulas across columns and down rows, rotating text in certain columns, and pasting names from another sheet to print on multiple pages with 3 placecards per page, requiring 100 sheets total.

in column E row 4 type this formula
copy-drag-paste the formula to the cell in column F row 4
highlight cells A1 across to F1 and down to F4
copy-drag-paste the formula down through row 400 and across columns A through F
select column B and click the drop down menu on the orientation icon
from the drop down menu choose "Rotate text Down"
select column C and click the drop down menu on the orientation icon
from the drop down menu choose "Rotate text Up"
select column E and click the drop down menu on the orientation icon

Select File tab
Select Print
change the print orientation to landscape and the custom margins to .5 for the top & bottom, .62 for left & right,
and 0 for Header & Footer
Select Home tab
dotted lines are now shown along the grid indicating the pages as they will print
delete row 1, which is thin (59 pixels)
row 2 becomes row 1
you will now see that rows 1, 2, & 3 will be printed on the first page
you want each page to fall within the dotted gridlines the way page one does
to accomplish this you will need to delete every other thin row
leaving only the one that falls in the center of each page
