Printing a Dataview

Maptitude prints dataviews to any installed printer. When you print a dataview, Maptitude prints all of the rows and columns in your dataview with the same font size, grid settings, field names, and formats that you see on the screen. Before printing, Maptitude figures out exactly how many pages are needed to print all of the data. It automatically takes into account the current page margins, the font size, and the number of locked columns (if any) that appear in your dataview. When you print, you can choose which pages you want. If you have columns locked in place in the dataview, these columns will appear on the left side of every page you print.

If you want to print several dataviews on a page, add titles to your dataviews, or print a dataview and a map on the same page, see Creating and Using Layouts.

NOTE: To change the paper margins, choose Edit>Preferences and enter new values for the margins on the System tab.
