Lesson 1.14. Printing a View

Figure 1-15. The Print dialog box.

When you want to print exactly what's on your screen, print a view. Total graphical information will print in all printable views. However, in views that contain tables, only the visible table columns will print along with the graphical information. You can print any view, except for form views and the Relationship Diagram view.

Before you print a project view, you should complete any formatting you want to appear on your view, use the spellchecker, insert page breaks, and preview the view.

1. Open the view you want to print.

   In this case, we are going to print the Gantt Chart, so you don't have to open a different view.
