Print selected area or selected row

Question

what options do i have to print selected row or area? EX. if i have many projects in my Master schedule and i only need to print one project schedule. Or if i filter my schedule by certain criteria and only need to print out some rows out of all filtered rows.

Answer 1

I think what you are looking for is a Print option that says "print only selected rows". AFAIK, that not in Project.

What you can do is put a Flag field on the view, and check "Yes" the rows you want to print.  Then filter for those rows where flag fields is "Yes", printing then the filtered view.

Mimi,

There is a very good KB article relating to the topic here at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/141654 (similar to Rob's logic). I would suggest you take a look at it. 

How is your progress so far ?

I'm using Marked field to select rows that want to print. However, I know that in Project 2007, it has function under Report menu which I can print selected row to image file. However, I can't find this function under Project 2010. Can anyone tell if this function is still available in 2010?

Answer 6

1 - select a text field (say text9) and name it MySum

2 - Identify the tasks you want to select/show and enter a code into MySum - example, S for summary, C for Critical, Q for qualification, T for Test etc - whatever you deem necessary

3 - create a filter titled MySum that asks for the code AND sets summary = no

       MySum     equals      "MySum Code?"?

and Summary  equals    no

when you run the filter, only the tasks coded will show

example -- suppose you have 5 subprojects in your master project and you want to see tasks only from project XYZ and only selected tasks from XYZ

     code MySum with an appropriate code (say XYZ-S) and run the filter and you will get only those tasks

then you can print or capture as a picture for pasting into a Power Point etc
