Explanation of the fields and buttons on the dialog
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Border file |
Select a border to print around the output. Make sure you choose a border that is appropriate for the size of the paper on which you will be printing and the orientation you will be using.
This field displays the border files that are located in the folder specified in the Border row of the File Locations tab of the Options dialog, and optionally those that are located in the \Borders\ folder within the folder in which Project Viewer is installed. If any borders have been embedded in the project, these appear at the top of the list.
|
| Browse | Click this button to search for a border file in a different location. |
| Style | Indicates how the border file has been generated. |
| Border page size | The selected border's page size, height, width and orientation. |
| Printer page size | Select the size of paper on which to print and whether to print in landscape or portrait. |
| Date range |
To print information between a range of dates, enter a range of dates in the From and To fields.
If you leave both fields blank, all information is printed; if you leave the From field blank, information is printed from the project start date to the To date; if you leave the To date blank, information is printed from the From date to the project finish date.
You can specify these dates as variable dates - for example 'Today', 'Month start' and 'Year end' - rather than as specific dates. You might want to do this in order to print information relating to the current week, month or quarter - by specifying 'Week start' and 'Week end', 'Month start' and 'Month end' or 'Quarter start' and 'Quarter end'. |
| Language |
Specify the language in which to print any textual information that is contained within the selected border file. You can only select a language in this field if you select a border that has been configured with text translations in more than one language.
