Print Gantt chart without wasting paper

I have few tasks but a long date range to plot- a short and wide gantt chart. Is there a way to wrap the gantt chart onto one page or set printing options so that it only plots say the top 4 inches of each page?

KYRep,
If all you want to show is the long tasks I think you best bet is to set the timescale to months, or years as appropriate so you will be able to see the start and finish together in the view. There is little benefit to having a fine timescale (e.g. days)
if all it will show is a looooooong Gantt bar.
And no, you can't "wrap" the Gantt Chart. You can however control the tasks that are printed by employing a filter. Set up a filter for just those long tasks you wan to show and then print with the filter applied.
Hope this helps.

    Sheetal,
    Did you ever find a reason as to why the bars were not printing? I'm experiencing the same problem with Apex 4.1.1. Only the first part prints. Here is the print tag:
    <print mode="MultiPage" print_all_columns="true" columns_on_every_page="2" fit_timescale_to_end_of_page="false">
    I've changed some of these settings to no avail.

  • Printing gantt chart

    Hi,
    I have a gantt chart which i want to print out.
    I have switched the paper source to landscape but i only get a portion of the chart printed. IE 1 page worth.
    How do i get the output to page correctly so that the whole chart is printed over a series of pages??

    How do i get the output to page correctly so that the whole chart is printed over a series of pages?? You'd have to size it correctly on your page, or you can look for some third-party filters for your print queue which allow you to scale and resize the input.
    Trying to get complex layouts fitting well on a printed page can be a bit of a Dark Art....people have gone insane trying to achieve it ;)

  • Tutorial: Print index cards without removing paper from tray for Officejet Pro 8000.

    The HP Officejet Pro 8000 and Officejet Pro 8000 wireless do not have a slot for inserting index cards and envelopes.
    If you are wanting to print index cards without removing the paper from the tray, follow these steps.
    The steps below are for 3 x 5 index cards.
    1.) Open Microsoft Word
    2.) Go to the Insert tab and insert a rectangle shape
    3.) Draw a rectangle of any size
    4.) Right click on the rectangle and select "Format Autoshape..."
    5.) Under the Size tab, enter 5" for the height and 3" for the width (make sure "Absolute" is selected)
    6.) Under the Layout tab, select "Center" for the horizontal alignment
    7.) Click OK
    8.) Use the keyboard up arrow key to move the rectangle to the top of the page.  Make sure the top edge of the rectangle touches the top edge of the document.
    9.) Print this document on plain 8.5" x 11" paper
    10.) When you want to print an index card, place this 8.5x11 document in the paper tray printed side face up.  Then place an index card over the rectangle and align with the border of the rectangle.  After you print the index card, remove the 8.5x11 paper for the next time you need to print an index card.
    Note 1: This are USA instructions.  If you live in the UK or other countries you may have different paper size standards.

    I can't tell you how much I HATE this printer.  I will never buy an HP product again.  BROTHERS printers are simply and easy to use.

  • Printing Gantt Chart issue

    Hello,
    Is there a way to see the print of Gantt Chart of our requirement in 2010 version.?
     Emil

    Hi Emil,
    i think its simple what you ask..simply go to Print setup Setting and turnoff the legend and adjust the setting to your way ... before printing see Print Preview.

  • Printing Gantt Charts

    Good morning,
    I have produced a complex project plan for my MD using the Tasks/Gantt Chart feature.
    Whilst the MD has been provided with the URL to the Gantt chart, his preference is to have a printed copy.
    However, after viewing the ribbon and browsing relative threads on this site, there does not appear to be a basic print function for 2010 Gantt charts?
    Is this correct? If so, is there anything I can do (code etc.) to provide a print feature?
    If coding is the only option, perhaps someone would be kind enough to share the specific code.
    Kind regards,
    David

    Hi  David,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to print the Gantt Charts of task list in the SharePoint 2010.
    For a workaround, you can use a screen capture program (such as TechSmiths SnagIt) to take screen shots of the window in different places and then stitch them together to print out.

  • Print Gantt Chart: blank at the beggining of the chart

    Hi Experts,
    I am working with cProjects 4.5, trying to explore printing Gantt functionality.
    1. If I try to print a whole project, at the beggining of the graphic I have a gap of approximately 1,5 months before the project starts. How can I print the graphic view only from the project start date?
    2. If I had already completed phase 1, maybe printing that phase is irrelevant for me, and I want the graphic printing to start from phase 2. Can I choose a date from when I want to print the graphic?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards,
    Neil

    Hi Experts,

  • How to test java printing program without wasting paper?

    Hi,
    I had written a java program that prints my document. I want to know how people test their printing document generatation program?
    Because I think people don;t wastes papers..
    So can anyone tell me to test these programs efficiently and preciesly what are the best testing tools available ?
    Thank you.

    1) find a program that prints to pdf, or some other file
    2) print to pdf or some other file instead of printing to a printer.
    3) To test it perfectly you will eventually have to waste some paper.

  • Turning Off Gantt Charts in MS Project For PDF Gen

    hi
    we have run into a problem when printing Gantt charts with PDF Gen. They can be extremely slow and on following up with Support they have confirmed that this is an issue with Distiller and there is no fix soon. So to get around the issue we tried disabling Gannt charts in MS Project by un-checking Bars and shapes in Gantt views in 3-D' (Tools > Options, View tab) in MS Project
    Now we're finding LC does not always pick up the setting. What we have noticed is that sometimes when printing to PDF with the same file, on the same server via PDF Gen, Gantt charts will appear, and sometimes not. Occasionally, the MS Project file when printing Gantt charts will stall in the Adobe Printer Queue, LC will then start to get Stuck Threads in Weblogic, and basically become unstable.
    Upon further investigation we saw that LC will use the WINPROJ.exe if it is running to do the conversion, or start a new WINPROJ.exe process if none is running. Sometimes while starting the process we get the Gantt chart setting picked up, and sometimes not, and there is no particular pattern.
    We did a lot of digging with PROCMON to see if we could find if LC was picking up a Windows Registry entry for MS Project perhaps with a different user which did not have the Gannt chart turned off, but could not find one. Our conclusion was that sometimes LC has submitted the job before WINPROJ.exe is fully loaded and somehow the No Gantt charts option gets lost, though this is speculation based on observation of behaviour.
    Anyone know what is going on?

    Hi,
    We will get this issue reproduced in-house and see if we can provide a patch to address this problem. Prima facie this does not appear to be a bug in the product; rather it appears that MS Project might be "forgetting" this setting in some cases, or a similar setting (inside the file that is being converted) might override the application-wide setting.
    We will try to see if we can forcibly set this flag (through MS Project COM APIs) each time a MS Project file gets converted. If this works, we might be able to provide a patch.
    Meanwhile, can you let me know exactly what version of MS Office (with the service pack details, if any) that you are using?

  • Tips for developing Gantt chart

    Can anyone say me how to create a Gantt chart...Or any link for sample programs for creating gantt chart without using any tool...Is it possilbe to develop without using any tool?

    Hi Shallini,
    Depends what you are calling a tool. Some IDE is nice, but I guess the minimal tools for creating a java application are a text editor and a java compiler. I once had a job interview where I had to develop a small application using notepad and javac on windows' cmd. I like eclipse better ;-).

  • How can I print  the figures (text) in a chart WITHOUT a cast shadow?

    hi all,
    in charts (line, column, etc.) i want display the figures (plott points) without cast shadows. Although the cast shadow option in the format bar isn´t aktiv, there is always a lighlty cast shadow when i´m printig the document and in my opinion it looks bad.
    isn´s it possible to print the figures (text) of a column chart without a cast shadow? btw: the same effect in pages.
    thx a lot
    rudi

    Hi rudiRocket,
    Welcome to Numbers discussions.
    Yes I see what you're talking about, never noticed it. To remove the shadow I tried numerous fonts but, still the shadow. Let's hope someone else has a better answer. Be aware folks on these Discussion boards are, as yourself end users not Apple employees.
    In the mean time please read the below instructions:
    Send feedback directly to the Numbers team for enhancement requests: at the top of your screen to the right of the blue Apple please click "Numbers" > "Provide Numbers Feedback". Explain in detailed what you've found. This makes your request known to the Numbers team directly; don't expect to hear back from them. I've sent many as well.
    Let's hope the next version of iWork incorporates many of the requested enhancements.
    Thank you in advance for doing that.
    Again, welcome to Numbers Discussions, have fun here.
    Sincerely,
    RicD

  • How to create new view without interlinking with gantt chart or resource views

    ok clear
    one another question
       In msp how to create new view without interlinking with gantt chart or resource views

    Hi Shiv PMC--
    I splitted your question above in another thread in order not to have  a huge thread with many topics in it.
    That being said, I'm not sure to understand. A view is just a manner to display MS Project data with columns. A view can have a table with column (left part) associated with a Gantt chart. It can also just contain a table with no Gantt chart (like the task
    table) or a table with a timephased grid (resource and task usage).
    Please give us more information, maybe with a concrete example so we can help you.
    Hope this helps,
