Use the Scale to Fit settings in Excel 2010 if you need to make a worksheet fit when you must get a few last rows or columns on a single page. You can use the Width, Height, and Scale options in the Scale to Fit group of the Page Layout tab to change these settings. These options are also available on the Page tab of the Page Setup dialog box.

Don't try to shrink the document too much. Trying to fit too much on a page can make the document typeface too small to read. If you decide to cancel the scaling, select Automatic for the Width and Height settings on the Page Layout tab and set the Scale back to 100%.
