Pcon,
I have not tried to tackle a printing macro, due to all the problems one would incur in such an endeavor. I'm not very good with VBA (that's Harry's forte), and I'm assuming that VBA would be needed to create code good enough to be usable by all the myriad of printers, monitor sizes, etc..
I tried to scale the Summaries small enough so that the users could print them easily enough. There is a lot of data in the Past Performances and Pace Ratings views which would make things pretty tough on someone trying to print them. I have been able to print them, separately, in landscape mode, but it took awhile to get the print areas set right.
As far as viewing the spreadsheet on a monitor, you could decrease your zoom setting in order to see more columns on your 13" monitor, but then you have the problem of fonts being so small that they are almost unreadable.
I designed AllData on a 22" widescreen and I can see each of the views width-wise at about 90% zoom. I assumed that most users have upgraded to larger widescreen monitors, at least on their desktops.
About all I can suggest is to reduce your zoom, if that doesn't produce something readable, you could always create your own views, leaving out data that you don't need to see.
If you need some help creating smaller views (with less data), let me know what data you need and I'll guide you through getting that data moved to another area of your workbook. Once that is done you should be able to view and print the new view(s) fairly well.
