Printing breaks

[Brian]

A very basic question I would think, but perhaps not. I am trying to print my project file on two pages, one containing all of the data and one containing the Gantt chart. I don't know of a way to put a page break in between them, or otherwise indicate the seperation. Is there an easy way
Thanks

I'm not sure that what you are doing is how Project works. When you
print in Project, it prints the "thing" starting at page 1 through as
many pages as required.

You are printing two "things":
1. "all the data" (I am not sure what this is), and
2. the Gantt Chart.

Each is printed by your doing each one at at a time. Each will start
it's own.

By chance is (1) something custom developed and for whatever reason it
doesn't do a page break at the end of it's printing? (I'm grasping
here...not really sure what you ar asking).

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Brian:

A very basic answer: drag the divider bar flush to the
left edge to print the Gantt alone and then drag the
divider bas flush to the right edge to print the data.

Hope this helps!

I think the confusion is a matter of semantics. The Gantt "chart" is
actually the columns and rows that contain the project information.
The other part of the Gantt Chart View in project is a graph of the
Gantt chart data.

Now to the printing. Project will print all of whatever it can see
even a piece of on the screen. So to print the chart and the graph,
make sure that the graph is just barely showing on the right side of
the screen. If you can't get all of the data in that way, print the
data side first, then drag the chart all the way to the left so that
it's the only thing on the screen, then print again.

Hope this helps!

Hi Brian,

The best I can offer is just the ID column (you surely need that to identify
which task is which. View/Table:Entry/More tables.../New. Give it a
suitable name and select the ID field in the first column and OK that.

Rob... Sean had my question nailed. And it works! Now, if I could just

ask one more... how do I set it up so that the Gantt chart prints alone with
no columns next to it. I see where you can change the amount of columns to
be printed, but you can't go below 1. Any ideas?

That helps a ton... thanks a bunch

Thanks for clarifying that. I think I'm all set now.
