I don't understand the problem -- and I suspect a similar reason has
stopped others from responding. If you set up a page number in the
page header, it is not part of the chart area.
In addition, after setting up the page information in the header,
switch to Print Preview mode and click the margins... button. XL has a
neat graphical way of adjusting various page borders/margins.
