Project plan printing

what is the best way to print out a project plan

RE: project plan printing

Hi Annabel

Thank you for your question -

Printing can be a problem but there are some things you can do to make it easier.

From the menu choose File > Page set-up then from the dialogue box that appears you might decide to use scaling at less that 100% to fit more onto the page. Be warned though this can make the task names too small to read.

As an alternative try choosing the option to print one page wide by one tall.

OK out of the dialogue box and from the view menu choose zoom. You can set the zoom level to show the entire project.

If you still have problems visit page setup again and on the view tab try removing the tick from Fit timescale to end of page. Choose OK, re - zoom as needed and try print preview.

When you do send the output to a printer check the date range in the print dialog box - to make sure it only includes the dates you are interested in.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:

Autofit column width – Project (all versions)

At the top of the columns where each column name is located (Task Name, Duration, etc.), hover over the vertical column line which you want to move.

A short bold vertical line will appear, with horizontal arrows pointing left and right.

Left click and hold this icon and it will permit you to grab the column line, allowing you to move it left or right to your desired location.
