Microsoft Project Printing Views

Printing Views

Any of the views can be seen as reports by clicking on the Print Preview. Always check how many pages it will print on before printing a view.

If the project is several years long then it would probably print several pages across. This can be reduced by Zooming out and changing the timescale to something more suitable.

If there is an extensive range of tasks within the projects – do you need to see all of the tasks on the print out. The number tasks displayed can be changed by filtering the tasks or collapsing the project plan as necessary.

A calendar might need to be printed so that it only shows the tasks for a particular person.

Microsoft Project Printing Tables

Printing Tables

Sometimes just the table is required without the Gantt Chart. This can be achieved by changing the view to the task sheet and choosing the table required.

The advantage of choosing the correct view is that all the print settings are already set rather than having to change them.
