I have forms and reports that I try to view in Print Preview (in Access 2007
it's more mouse clicks to get to than in earlier versions*). The preview
windows open in wierd shapes, like only about 20% of the Access maximized
window height and 200% of the Access maximized window width, and the image is
"fit to window," which makes it look like a car seen from the 110th floor.
When the Print Preview window opens I can resize it, and un-click the Fit to
Window Zoom, but then if I switch from One Page to Two Pages, the Fit to
Window turns itself back on - now two teeny-weeny little spots. Also, the
window keeps jumping to twice the size of the current preview image, so if I
have one page, the window grows to two pages wide, and if I have two pages,
the window grows to four pages wide.
And then of course, after I've spent valuable time making all these
adjustments, if I close Print Preview and use it again later, none of my
changes have been retained so I have to do them all over again. This whole
situation is bizarre; I never get the image I want, and the best image I can
get won't save.
It's always puzzled me that great features in one Office product are
primitive or downright nonexistent in other products. How about an Access
Print Preview function as useful and easy as the one in Word? Or for that
matter, PowerPoint and Excel headers and footers as customizable as Word's?
