In Excel, paging lines are often used to indicate where the print area is split on the page. However, in some cases, these paging lines can be intrusive with the visibility and editing of the data. Therefore, it is very important to grasp how to remove paging lines in Excel. The following will detail how to remove pagination marks in different versions of Excel.
Open the Excel document that needs to be operated.
Click on the "File" option on the top navigation bar.
In the menu that pops up, select Options. This will open the Excel Options dialog box.
In the dialog box, find and tap the "Advanced" tab.
On the right side of the Advanced tab, find the Display section, and find the Show Page Breaks check box.
Uncheck the Show page breaks check box.
Tap the "OK" button to apply the changes.
Once you've completed the above steps, go back to your original file and you'll find that the page break is no longer displayed.
Method 2: Use the View tab.
In addition to the above methods, you can also remove the paging marks through the View tab of Excel. The specific steps are as follows:
Open the excel document and click the "View" tab in the top navigation bar.
In the View tab, locate the Sheet View group.
In the Sheet View group, click the Page Layout button. This switches to the page layout view, where pagination lines are not displayed by default.
Note that this method only changes the way the view is displayed and doesn't really remove the page lines. If you switch to a different view or reopen the document, the paging lines may reappear.
For more advanced users, VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) macros can be used to remove paging lines. Here's an example of a simple VBA macro to remove all pagination lines from an active worksheet:
vba copy sub removepagebreaks() dim ws as worksheetset ws = activesheetwsresetallpagebreaksend subTo use this macro, follow these steps:
Open the excel document and press italt + f11to open the VBA editor.
In the VBA editor, insert a new module (right-click on the workbook name in the Project Browser on the left and select "Insert" -> Module).
Paste the VBA above into the window of the new module.
Close the VBA editor and return to the Excel document.
Pressalt + f8to open the "Macros" dialog box, select the "RemovePageBreaks" macro, and click the "Run" button.
This will run the macro and strip out all paging lines in the active worksheet. Please note that using VBA macros may cause irreversible changes to your documents, so be sure to back up your data before using it.
The above describes three ways to remove Excel paging lines: via Excel Options Settings, using View tabs, and using VBA macros. You can choose the right method according to your needs and proficiency. When dealing with important data, it's important to exercise caution and always back up your data just in case.
