Define Print & View Areas

"Using the Report Manager add-in program, you can combine worksheets , views (a set of display and print settings that you can name and apply to a workbook. You can create more than one view of the same workbook without saving separate copies of the workbook.), and scenarios (a named set of input values that you can substitute in a worksheet model.) into printable reports. For example, if you have a Best Case and a Worst case scenario, a Summary view, and a Details view, you can create a report that presents the Best Case scenario in the Details view and another report that presents the Best Case Scenario in the Summary view. Reports that you create are automatically saved with your workbook so that you can print them at any time."
