I have been using opensource LibreOffice to handle my office documents, which is convenient and free.

Today, I found one trick for shrinking documents when printing in order to print it in one page. More specifically, I was working on an excel sheet, which is opened with the Calc app of LibreOffice.

To do so, one just need to open the excel file, and then choose File -> Print Preview, and can see the menu in the following screenshot.

With this menu, one can scale the sheet so that it can fit into one page, and at the same time, one can click the margins button (the little rectangle with margin lines) next to the word Scale and adjust the margins. After adjusting, one can click print button to print the document.

I hope that this helps.

Happy 2025, everyone!
