Troubleshooting

If tables are being cut off and printed across pages during the printing process, this could be due to a combination of things in your Gantt chart or local printer settings. Here are some of the most common ways to fix that:

• Reduce the size of the printable Schedule area by changing the view to Month or Year before printing.
• In the Export settings dialog, set the Paper Format to Landscape.
• Only print the Projects List or Tasks List columns that you need.
