    Print area and empty rows

    I have a basic understanding of excel and i'm using version 2003. I was wondering if there was a way to hide the empty rows when printing, i have a sheet set up that lists the customers on it and each day that list changes size one day it could be 54 customers another day its only 26 customers. I'm looking for a way to print only the customers that are on there and having the empty rows not appear with out having to change my print area every time i print. Another solution i could use is is there a way to auto set print area with out using macros/scripts but i would prefer the empty rows to just not print.
    Sorry bout caps lock its broken

    I WASN'T CLEAR ENOUGH ON WHAT I WAS WANTING DO DO. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF MY LOG I NEED TO BE ABLE TO ADD TO THE BLANK LINES BUT I WANT THE BLANK ROW TO NOT APPEAR WHEN PRINTING. RIGHT NOW I HAVE BEEN ADJUSTING THE PAGE BREAKS EACH DAY WHEN I PRINT BUT I WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS A WAY TO MAKE IT SO BLANK ROWS DON'T PRINT I CANT USE THE AUTO FILTER TO ACHIEVE THIS.

    Re: Print area and empty rows

    What about using autofilter and selecting non blanks and giving print for the selected visible range alone?

    i wasn't clear enough on what i was wanting do do. Here is an example of my log i need to be able to add to the blank lines but i want the blank row to not appear when printing. Right now i have been adjusting the page breaks each day when i print but i was wondering if there is a way to make it so blank rows don't print i cant use the auto filter to achieve this.
    auto filter will not work for what i'm trying to do i'm not the only one using this log sheet and the other user don't know enough about adjusting print area to do it so each day i'm changing the page brake printing and then changing the page brake back

    Re: Print area and empty rows

    Go to your Named Range Manager.

    Select "Print_Area" for the desired sheet.

    Edit it to be something like this:

    This may need to be adjusted depending on your sheet design. Obviously $H:$H will change to whatever your last column is. If column A:A is not filled then you'll need to use another method to determine the last row.

    Copy paste the Non Blank (Visible Data) to a new worksheet and select the data range and use Set Print Area.
