How do I only print a certain date range in Project?

[Christy]

I want to show in my chart that I begin a task on a certain earlier date
(January), but when I print out the chart I only want to print from May on.
Is that possible, and if so how?

When you click file/print, you should get a dialog box. At the bottom half
is a timescale selection. You can select your date range there.

I also often simply roll up tasks which are out of the range so that the
main group shows but not the subtasks.

Hi

just remember to reset it to the all option after printing, because if you
subsequently print any reports or anything they use the time frame option
set under file / print (choosing file / print / all & then click the preview
button and then close out of print preview to reset it)

Yes, valid point. If you don't set it back you might get burned on the next
print job. I've run across this after sending several hundred pages to the
fscking printer.

You'll find top posting is the norm in this newsgroup, kai, and does not
need the little "zinger" indicating you've corrected what you perceive as
the poster's bad Usenet manners and habit. The questions and explanations
posted here tend to be more involved than those in groups where the
discussion follows the more conversational dialog style where comments in
reply to a post are interwoven with the original text. Having the content
of a new message in a thread appear as a single cohesive block of text at
the top of the post, with previous messages from the thread intact below it
in reverse posting order, newest message first, makes it far more readable.
It's much easier for someone picking up the thread at a late stage to review
its history. There are exceptions, of course, but in general it is much
easier to follow the development of the discussion of a complex topic such
as project management with top posted threads, IMHO.
