Making a spreadsheet fit the page

I have a spreadsheet printed on 11 x 17 inch paper with cells I would like to make as easy to read as possible. I cannot make the cells any wider (because I have so many columns already), but I was thinking the spreadsheet would be easier to read if I made the cells taller. Is there an easy way to have Excel automatically change the cell height so that the cells are as large as possible

I am familiar with the scaling function which appears in the Page Setup dialog box. However, that works by manipulating BOTH the length and the height of all cells in a worksheet. Can Excel be instructed to manipulate ONLY ONE OR THE OTHER at a time, so that I can make cells as easy to read as possible

Thanks

The only way I can suggest is to copy your sheet as a picture, massage the
picture as necessary and print that.
If you select the cells you want, hold shift and click Edit and then Copy
Picture. On a new sheet you can then paste the picture and adjust as
necessary.

Click on the corner of the spreadsheet between "1" and "A"
to select the entire spread sheet.
Click on "Format"; "Row"; "Height" and change the height
to desirable number.
