settings. There is an attri bute of the worksheet object that is a structure called
SHEET_SETUP that’s filled with fields in which you can change assorted print settings.
Listing 11.10 first makes the page margins narrow (so that more can fit on
the printed page) by passing in various values to a method called SET_PAGE_MAR-
GINS. Then it changes some more fields in the SHEET_SETUP structure to make the
spreadsheet columns fit al l on one page and to change the orientation to landscape
(which is the most important thing accomplished in this code).

As mentioned earlier, the method names and attributes are all in plain English, so
it’s easy to tell what is going on.
Next, set up some headers and footers to be printed at the top and bottom of
every page; naturally, you can put anything you want in the headers and footers.
In this example, put the sp readsheet name in the center of the header, the date
the spreadsheet was generated on in the left of the footer, the spreadsheet file
