Use Preview Functions

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.

 

Print Preview Right Click Selections

 

Briefly these options are:

 

Apply changes across panels

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 corresponding row or column of each panel.

 

For example below are three panels for columns:

 

Two Variables Crossed in the 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 across the entire printed page. If unchecked, the columns will be displayed in the minimal width possible given text, font, etc.

 

An example of unchecked:

 

Columns not Automatically Fit to Page Width

 

An example of checked:

 

Columns Automatically Fit to Page Width

 

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.

Format Print (Table)

See Format for Printing

 

Restore default table layout

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

 

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…

This option activates the following menu:

 

Go to Dialog Box

 

Page option – enter page number for display.

Table option – select table for display.

Area option (shown above) – select page of table with area counts for display.
