I want to set the page printing option for an Excel spreadsheet (for both Excel 2003 and 2007) to ‘Fit to Page’ so that the spreadsheet is printed on just one page.
In a file of one liners I found the line
$sheet -> PageSetup -> {FitToPagesWide} = 1;

I tried this but it did not work in an Excel 2007 spreadsheet.
Therefore I tried the recommended practice of recording an Excel macro when I used the Fit to Page option – selecting one page for fitting. This gave the following
    With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        .PrintTitleRows = ""
        .PrintTitleColumns = ""
    End With
    ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = ""
    With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        .LeftHeader = ""
        .CenterHeader = ""
        .RightHeader = ""
        .LeftFooter = ""
        .CenterFooter = ""
        .RightFooter = ""
        .LeftMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.138888888888889)
        .RightMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.277777777777778)
        .TopMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(6.94444444444444E-02)
        .BottomMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.347222222222222)
        .HeaderMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.3)
        .FooterMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.3)
        .PrintHeadings = False
        .PrintGridlines = False
        .PrintComments = xlPrintNoComments
        .PrintQuality = -3
        .CenterHorizontally = False
        .CenterVertically = False
        .Orientation = xlLandscape
        .Draft = False
        .PaperSize = xlPaperA4
        .FirstPageNumber = xlAutomatic
        .Order = xlDownThenOver
        .BlackAndWhite = False
        .Zoom = False
        .FitToPagesWide = 1
        .FitToPagesTall = 0
        .PrintErrors = xlPrintErrorsDisplayed
        .OddAndEvenPagesHeaderFooter = False
        .DifferentFirstPageHeaderFooter = False
        .ScaleWithDocHeaderFooter = True
        .AlignMarginsHeaderFooter = True
        .EvenPage.LeftHeader.Text = ""
        .EvenPage.CenterHeader.Text = ""
        .EvenPage.RightHeader.Text = ""
        .EvenPage.LeftFooter.Text = ""
        .EvenPage.CenterFooter.Text = ""
        .EvenPage.RightFooter.Text = ""
        .FirstPage.LeftHeader.Text = ""
        .FirstPage.CenterHeader.Text = ""
        .FirstPage.RightHeader.Text = ""
        .FirstPage.LeftFooter.Text = ""
        .FirstPage.CenterFooter.Text = ""
        .FirstPage.RightFooter.Text = ""
    End With

This included the equivalent of the one liner I found and a lot of other settings as well.
I guessed it might at least some of the other settings so I added the one for paper size. Sadly this still did not work.
Therefore I wondered if any Monk knows what is required to be able to set the Fit to Page option.
