Page Breaks
If you don’t want a row to print on a page by itself or you don't want a
table header row to be the last line on a page. MS Excel gives you
precise control over page breaks.
MS Excel handles page breaks automatically, but sometimes you may
want to force a page break either a vertical or a horizontal one. so that
the report prints the way you want.
For example, if your worksheet consists of several distinct sections, you
may want to print each section on a separate sheet of paper.
