Good idea. What is your technique for hiding all of the excess columns/rows?

This reduces the visual clutter for the end user, and helps in protecting calculation information if so desired.<br /> The result is a nice small input/output sheet, with a grey area to the right and bottom into which one cannot "walk"/move/click.

Agreed,

MS needs to work on their Format->Sheet->Background, besides not printing, I’d like to be able to control whether it tiles or not, and if so what direction. I could then have the same flexibility as I do with a webpage background.

In this case background will not be printed, but it will make file little bit bigger, depending on proportions of the picture.
