Printing Gantt views
Printing Gantt charts works differently than other report printing. For example, you must select a form design with either portrait or landscape orientation. Paper size and the size of the detail section do not matter because the program takes the selected form design elements and resizes them to fit the selected printer page size.
Important! If you are going to use any paper size other than Letter, you must use the Print records button on the toolbar. If you are exporting to PDF or sending the report to Word, you cannot use the toolbar buttons. You have to manually select the PDF or RTF printer. not use the Create a PDF file of this report button.
