What should you do to print only a selected portion of the document in Excel?

The best approach to printing only a selected portion of a document in Excel is to highlight the specific cells, rows, or columns you wish to print and then proceed to print. This ensures that only the chosen portion of your spreadsheet is sent to the printer. When you highlight the desired area before initiating the print command, Excel recognizes the selection and allows you to print just that part, preventing the entire document from being printed unnecessarily.

While other options may seem plausible, they either rely on general printing commands that do not specify selection or involve shortcuts that may not directly lead to printing just a specific selection. Highlighting your selection first provides clarity and control over what will be printed, making it the most effective method for this task.
