Display Switches

Click to display a number of additional 'Display Switch' buttons in the Print Preview toolbar, which you can use to turn a number of elements of the display on and off instantly prior to printing. You may want to turn specific elements of the display off before printing for a variety of reasons. For example, you may want to turn off the display of float, or of the critical path, before printing a project, to keep this potentially sensitive information from certain people who may see the printout.

Note that when you use these display switches in the Print Preview window - as opposed to using them in the Ribbon, where they are also available when viewing the bar chart - they affect the Print Preview window only, and not any views that you currently have open. For example, if you turn off the display of progress shading in the Print Preview window, print the view, then close the Print Preview window, progress shading will still be displayed in the current view.
