I have a spread sheet with 9 columns set up in layout format. The total size
of the spreadsheed is 36 pages. When I go to print preview I see a total of
72 pages. The first 36 pages also includes 2 columns on the right side that
I do not want to print (my choice is to print the gridlines), as well as
three columns to the right of the page that show as pages 37-72.

I try to delete, to clear contents these columns that I do not want to print
(in the first 36 pages as well as 37-72) to no avail, and do not know how to
clean up the spread sheet so that only the first 36 pages is included in the
total.

This happens fairly regularly. Of course, I can choose to only print pages
1-36, but I would prefer to be able to set up the spread sheet so that I do
not have to figure this out for each multiple page spread sheet I want to
print.

Suggestions?

Thanks

You can go to File>Print Area and clear the print area then select and set a
new print area.

OR reset the used range.

To reset the used range, select a cell in column 10(J) then hold SHIFT key and
hit END + RightArrow.

Edit>Delete>Entire Column.  Clearing Contents will not work.

Do the same for all rows below your last row of data(SHIFT + END + DownArrow).

Save and close the workbook then re-open to see changes in used range.
