How to Print from the Finance Planner for Creatives
Need a hard copy of information from your Finance Planner for Creatives for a meeting, your accountant, or just for your own records? Google Sheets gives you plenty of control over what and how you print. Here’s how to get the results you want:
1. Open the Print Settings
Click File → Print or use the shortcut CTRL + P (Windows) or CMD + P (Mac). This will open a Print preview window where you can customize your printout.

2. Choose What to Print
In the top right dropdown, choose one of the following:
Current sheet – prints the full sheet you're viewing
Selected cells – great for printing just a section of the sheet (select the cells before opening the print window)
Entire workbook – prints all sheets at once (this isn’t recommended as different sheets may need different print settings)

3. Adjust the Layout
Under Layout, you can fine-tune how your sheet prints:
Paper size – Use Letter (8.5x11") or A4 for standard printers
Orientation – Choose between Portrait (vertical) or Landscape (horizontal)
Margins – Choose from Normal, Narrow, or Wide margins to control how much white space surrounds your content
Scaling – Use options like Fit to width, Fit to height, or Fit to page to avoid cutoff columns or reduce excess pages

5. Formatting Options
Fine-tune how your spreadsheet looks on the page:
Show or hide gridlines and notes
Page order – Choose whether pages print over, then down (rows first) or down, then over (columns first)
Alignment – Set horizontal and vertical alignment to control how content is positioned within each printed cell (e.g. center-align your data for cleaner printouts)
Adjust print formatting options
6. Headers, Footers + More Options
Expand the Headers & Footers sections to:
Add a title, date, page numbers, or sheet name
Choose whether to repeat frozen row or column headers on each page
Note: You may get a warning after modifying headers and footers, and it’s okay to ignore this specific warning. See more on popup warnings here.

📝 Tips:
Use Selected cells if you only want to print a portion of a sheet.
Try Landscape orientation if your data has lots of columns.
It is recommended that you save a PDF copy before printing, so you have a record.
