Selecting a Microsoft Excel print area to convert to a Flash document

You cannot define the print area, or print multiple worksheets, when you convert a Microsoft

Excel document to a Flash document from Contribute. To specify which worksheets are

converted, or to specify certain rows and columns to convert, you must open the document in

Excel, and then convert it to a Flash document.

To set a Flash document print area in Microsoft Excel:

In the Microsoft Excel document, drag to select the part of the worksheet that you want to

convert to a Flash document

Select File > Print Area > Set Print Area.

Select File > Print.

The Print dialog box appears.

For the printer, select Macromedia FlashPaper.

(Windows Only) Click Properties if you want to set page layout properties for the document,

and then click OK when you are finished.

Click OK (Windows) or Print (Macintosh).

Note: Macintosh users will need to perform the additional step of selecting a location in which to save

the converted file.

To select multiple worksheets to convert to a Flash document:

In the Microsoft Excel document, do one of the following to select multiple worksheets:

■ Click the worksheet tab of the first document you want to select; then Control-click

(Windows) or Command-click (Macintosh) the tabs of other worksheets you want to select.

■ Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) a worksheet tab, and then select Select

All Sheets.
