Which command clears the print area?

• A. Page Layout, Print Area, Clear Print Area.
• B. View, Page Break Preview, Clear Print Area.
• C. Page Layout, Page Setup, Clear Print Area.
• D. File, Print, Clear Print Area.

Answer: (A)

Clearing the print area is about removing a previously defined range that Excel is set to print. The place to do this is on the Page Layout tab, in the Print Area menu, by choosing Clear Print Area. That location matches the purpose: Page Layout groups settings that affect how the sheet prints, and the Print Area option specifically handles what part of the sheet is printed. When you clear it, Excel returns to printing the worksheet in its normal form (subject to your print settings). Other paths don’t target the print area: Page Setup covers margins and scaling, View/Page Break Preview are for viewing layout, and File/Print is just the act of printing, not adjusting what gets printed.
