Hopefully Shawn who wrote that part will give you a more intelligent answer (Don't ask me, I just work here :-) )...but until then I might suggest you take one of your own sheets, unfitted, look at the print setup/etc with HSSF. Fit it with Excel, look at the print setup with HSSF and compare. If I had to guess I'd say you need both fit width and fit height. It could also be that you have blank records on columns that go on the next page.

Hello.

I am having a little trouble generating an XLS file using HPSSF, with the 
printing format to be more specific.
The Sheet involved contains a large number of columns, which print on two pages 
wide if I try to print them at 100% scale.
In this case, I usually use the 'Fit to <1> page (s) wide by < > page(s) tall' 
option in the Excel 'Page Setup' dialog.
Since other users, who don't know the 'fit to page' tip, will use the generated 
files, I would like to fix this while generating the sheet in my java code, but 
unfortunately it doesn't seem to work.

Here is what I do:
- set the page format (A4) on the sheet
- set the page layout (Horizontal) on the sheet
- set the page margins on the sheet
- create my data rows and columns, and format them
- try to set the 'fit to' by using:
       sheet.getPrintSetup().setFitWidth((short) 1);
- save the file.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the right way to do it, because when I 
open the created file and print it, the page prints on 2 pages wide...

Does anyone have an idea...? Am I missing something here? Or doesn't this 
option work...?

Thanks a lot,

Fr?d?ric Ferrant
