Printing the Edit Window

You can send the contents of the Edit window to your printer in these ways:

Previewing the Print Job

To preview what the printout will look like, select File | Printing | Edit Window Print Preview. A Print Preview window appears:

Print Preview window of the Edit window

Print Preview window that shows the contents of the Edit window

The buttons at the top of the window perform these functions:

When you print the Edit window's contents, you should use a TrueType font (such as Courier New). Otherwise, characters or lines may not line up as expected. To change the fonts used in the Edit window and in your reports, see "Customizing User Interface Fonts" in the "Navigating the User Interface" chapter.

Printout in Summary Mode

When you view the Edit window in Summary mode, you get the printout exactly as you see in the Edit window. If a group is collapsed in the Edit window, the printout shows the group as collapsed.

Setting Output Options

You can set the output options for Edit window print tasks from the same Output Configuration dialog box that you use for the report's output. For information on the options in the Output Configuration dialog box, see "Setting Output and Printer Options for the Report Window".

To change printers, set page orientation, or modify other printer options, select File | Printing | Printer Setup. For more information, see "Setting Printer Options".
