How to Delete a Page Break in Excel

To remove a manual page break in Excel for Mac, select the cell below the page break you intend to delete. Navigate to the 'Breaks' section in the 'Page Layout' tab. Choose 'Remove Page Break' to delete the selected page break.

Adjusting Automatic Page Breaks

In Excel for Mac, automatic page breaks are inserted based on the sheet's content and layout. To adjust these, change the column widths, margins, or scale the sheet size. This may shift the automatic page breaks to better fit your content on fewer pages.

Removing Manual Page Breaks

If you have manually inserted page breaks that you now wish to delete, go to the 'Page Layout' tab, select 'Breaks', and then 'Remove Page Break'. This action will only remove the manual page breaks, not the automatic ones created by Excel.
