Possible workarounds that I am considering: The XLSX file still displayed as multiple pages in the Canvas view (although down to two landscape pages from four portrait pages). In my Content page, as a test, I linked to both the XLSX file and the PDF file.

I uploaded the XLSX to Files and also saved as PDF and uploaded the PDF to Files. I put it in landscape mode, selected the area I wanted 'to print,' and removed/reset the page breaks. One thing I discovered was that the spreadsheets had not been formatted for 'printing.' So first, I made sure the Excel spreadsheet was formatted for a single-page view. I reviewed stefaniesanders Google Docs solution, which, for many reasons that I won't go into here, I am not able to implement. I couldn't figure out why the spreadsheets weren't displaying correctly.

I am developing a project management course and am working for the first time with many Excel spreadsheet templates and examples, which we want to share with students. Thanks for identifying this Canvas limitation, which is particularly unfortunate for me.
