Using Print Preview with relationship data Do the following to preview the output of relationship data as it would be printed: 1. Expand the relationship tree of Relationship Manager so that the information you want to print is displayed. 2. Initiate the print preview in any of the following ways: v Select File > Print Preview. v Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+P. v Click Print Preview in the toolbar. Setting up the page Relationship Manager tries to print the output tree as it appears in the tool's main window. If the output tree is narrow enough to fit on the page, you do not need to take any special formatting tasks. If, however, the output tree does not fit on the page, you can set formatting options to change the layout of the output tree so that it fits on the page. You can set up the print format with the "Print Page Setup" feature, which you initiate in any of the following ways: v Select File > Page Setup from the menu bar to display the "Print Page Setup" dialog, where you can configure information such as printer setting, paper size and orientation. v Use the keyboard shortcut Shift+Alt+P. Any of these commands invokes the "Print Page Setup" dialog. From the "Print Page Setup" dialog, you can provide the following formatting information: v Column formatting options appear in the "Column Settings" area of the "Print Page Setup" dialog. Table 19 lists the options contained in this area. Table 19. Column formatting options Column formatting option Column headers on every page Resize columns to fit all data Use smaller font if necessary Description When this option is enabled, the column headers (such as Relation, Type, Value) appear on every page, not just the first one. When this option is enabled, Relationship Manager attempts to enlarge each column to fit any strings wider than the column itself. If the resulting tree does not fit onto the printed page, Relationship Manager tries to eliminate any extra room inside the columns. If this field and its subfields are greyed out, their values indicate the default values that Relationship Manager uses when formatting the output tree. Leave these fields in their greyed-out state if you want to confirm the formatting every time Relationship Manager generates the output tree. If you activate these fields, Relationship Manager uses the options you set for every output tree it generates. When this option is enabled, Relationship Manager tries to reduce the font size if data is still larger than the page. It reduces font size in three steps. At each step, it reduces the font size by 20%. Chapter 10. Using Relationship Manager 185
