The Print Preview Window
The Print Preview window is displayed when you click the Print Preview tool in the File group on the Report tab. It has several controls at the top that allow you to work with the preview display and send the document to the printer.
Find: Allows you to search for words and text strings in your report. When you click this tool, the Find dialog box is displayed. Type in the wordor text string you want to search for, and click Find Next. TIP: Put the word in quotation marks, or check the Match whole word box, to limit the search to finding exact matches.
Print: Select a printer, number of copies, and other options before printing.
Quick Print: Print immediately to the default printer using the default print settings.
Headers and Footers: Click this tool to add headers and footers to your report, including adding page numbers to your report. When you click this tool, the Header and Footer dialog box appears.
Report headers and footers have three sections each in which you can enter text and page number tags. Simply place your cursor in the region where you want footer content to appear, and type it, or use the tools at the top of the dialog to add it dynamically. For example, to add a page number tag to the lower right side of the page, put your cursor in the right-most footer region, and click one of the page number icons.
Hand Tool: This tool is useful if the report page is zoomed such that it is larger than the field of view. When you click this tool, your cursor is changed to the hand tool which allows you to click and drag the report around in the field of view. You can, for example, click and drag a region of the report that is out of the field of view into the field of view.
Magnifier: Click this tool to change the cursor into the Magnifier tool. When in this mode, a right-mouse click toggle between a minimized view of the report and an enlarged view of the report. You also use the zoom tools to zoom out or zoom in on the report.
Multiple: This tool allows you to change the preview view to show multiple pages at one time.
Click and drag the mouse over the page icons to tell Image-Pro how many pages you want to view at one time in the preview window.
Background: This tool allows you to change the background color for your report.
