I have reviewed several posts regarding this, but changing the date range in
the print dialog box does not resovle my particular issue.
Viewing my Gantt chart in Project, ~2/3 of the screen is consumed by the
task list and the remaining 1/3 consumed by the chart. I have my timescale
set to 2 levels, with the middle tier set to months and bottom tier set to
thirds of months. This gives me a nice view of the project and tasks
scheduled over the current month along with 2 months to come.
When I try to print, however, the task list consumes ~95% of the printed
sheet with the chart crammed in to the far right-hand 5%. I have the date
range in the print dialog box set to match the 3 month range showing in the
Gantt chart view.
Further, when I use a PDF utility to save as a PDF for distribution to
co-workers who do not have Project, the PDF shows ~2/3 task list, ~1/3 chart,
but the timescale / date range on the PDf chart is the entire year, so again
things look too crowded in this view.
Why does MS Project print / display in so many different ways, and are there
ways to control this for consistency?
Thank you!
