Previewing Reports

< Previous section  |  Table of Contents  |  Index  |  Next section >

MainBoss lets you preview reports by displaying them on your computer screen. In this way, you can see everything that will be printed if and when you send the report to your printer.

To preview a report, click the Preview button in the window for printing the report. MainBoss displays a window that contains the following:

• Preview area: The main part of the window shows the preview itself.
• Page: The page number of the page you're currently previewing.
• Goto Page: Lets you go to a different page of the preview. Type the desired page number into "Page", then click Goto Page. MainBoss will go to the specified page.
• First Page: Goes to the first page of the report
• Previous Page: Goes to the previous page of the report.
• Next Page: Goes to the next page of the report.
• Last Page: Goes to the last page of the report.
• Full Size: Adjusts the displayed information so that it fills the preview area. This is the default. If the preview area is too small to show an entire page, the area will have scroll bars so that you can look at parts that don't fit on the screen.
• Full Page: Adjusts the displayed information so that the preview area shows an entire page of the report.

  Typically, Full Page shows more data than Full Size, but the printing is smaller and may be harder to read.

• Print: Immediately prints the report you are previewing. In this way, you can print the report without having to close the preview window.
• Close: Closes the preview window.
