Print a Report

After you run a report, you can preview it to see how it will look on a printed page and then send it to a printer.

When previewing a report, you can zoom in and out of the displayed page, view multiple pages, and specify how the pages should display in the preview window. Before you print the report, you can specify print options, including paper size, margin width, and page orientation.
  1. Open the report you want to print and click the Page Setup tab.
  2. To automatically scale the report to your printer’s default page width, select Print to Fit.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • To specify page setup options, such as page margins, click the button to the right of the Print group name to open the Page Setup window where you can set printing options.
    • Select printing options from the Page Setup tab’s Print group. See Report Page Setup Tab for option descriptions.

      Tip: If you know the specific options you want, it can be faster to select them from the ribbon. Opening the window gives you an overview of all the available options.
  4. Enter field information.
