Print Preview Options

You can make some modifications to the table in Print Preview. Most notably the rows and columns can be "sized" similar to the way it is done in spreadsheet software. There is also a "right-click" menu with additional options.

Briefly these options are:

Apply changes across panels

If unchecked this means that changes to row height or column width will be applied to only the selected row or column. If checked any sizing changes made to a row or column in a panel will be reflected in the corresponding row or column of each panel.

For example below are three panels for columns:

If this option is checked and a change is made to the width of the "Male" column in any of the three panels then the width of all three will be modified. If the option is unchecked then only the specific column selected will have its width modified.

Automatically Fit columns across each page

If checked this option will "spread" the table columns for all tables across the entire printed page. If unchecked, the columns for all tables will be displayed in the minimal width possible given text, font, etc.

An example of unchecked:

An example of checked:

Page Break After

Insert a page break [go to next page] after the row selected. This usually done when a stub group is "split" across two pages.

An Example before Page Break applied. The user right-clicks on the "10-14 years" row and selects page break after to place a break between the "10-14 years row" and the "15-19 years row".

Next page after Page Break applied. This page starts with the "15-19 years row"

Restore default table layout

The default layout of a table is the layout produced for it when the table is first created. Any changes made to the print view of the table will be "undone". There is also an "undo" of a single previous action in Print Preview but this is an "undo" of ALL previous actions for this table.

Undo

Revert to view of table before the last action was taken. Ctrl+Z will also "Undo".

Redo

If an "Undo" was the last action then "Redo" is available.

Goto…

Allows you to move to a particular page, table or area within a table. This option activates the following menu:

Page option – enter the page number to display.

Table option – choose the table (by name) to display.

Area option – choose the table and the area within that table to display. This option is only available if area processing is used.
