Basic Manual and Global Editing of Multi-Page Output

Manual Editing of Multi-Page Outputs

You have several page break manipulation controls in the “Page Break” view mode. Automatic page breaks recommended by OnePager are selectable and can be dragged to new locations. Below shows a page breaks inserted by OnePager:

a) You may select, drag, and drop an automatic vertical or horizontal page break.

b) By right-clicking in open space where you desire to place a page break, OnePager will display the menu below to let you insert a horizontal or vertical manual page break:

c) When you click the “Horizontal” sub-command as shown above, OnePager will create a new page break at the position of your original right-click as shown below:

d) Both automatically generated and manually inserted page breaks will now be shown if you are in the “M x N” mode. If you are in “automatic x automatic” mode, the manually inserted page break may replace an automatic page break if it is possible to do so.

e) You may now select the page break with a left or right-click. Also, a left-click will display a border around the page break as shown below:

f) After selecting the horizontal page break, dragging the cursor to the left or right will change the location of the page break. Since horizontal page breaks are placed between the lowest level time axis tic marks, you should drag the page break as close as you can to the appropriate time axis tic boundary. Releasing the left mouse button will complete the action as shown below:

g) Inserting a page break manually will override any previous settings of the “Height” or “Width” settings section as shown below:

h) Right-clicking a manual page break lets you delete it. The right-click brings up a small menu with a delete command as shown below:

i) Note that you cannot delete an automatic page break in this way. Rather, you can remove all the page breaks by using the “Page Breaks” button.

j) Further, if you are in the “3 X 2” mode, say, and you delete a manual page break, OnePager will insert an automatic page break to maintain the “3 X 2” mode condition. If you want to go back to the “2 X 2” mode, you will need to change the contents of the ‘Width” window on the “Page Layout” tab.

k) After completing the delete of the page break, the project view will look like this in the Page Break view:

Using the “Page Layout” Tab’s “Document Fitting” Settings to Manually Change Page Breaks

The “Height” and “Width” controls on the “Page Layout” tab in the “Document Fitting” group lets you manually set the number of output pages vertically and horizontally.

a) The default setting for both of these is one (1).

b) The two controls are synchronized with the “Page Layout” tab of the “Project-View Properties” form.

Global Editing of Project View Properties

Global controls over multiple pages are in a new tab in both the “Project-View Properties” and the “Template Properties” forms. This tab, the “Page Layout” tab, is shown below:

a) The above is from the “Project-View Properties” form but the format and controls are exactly the same for the “Page Layout” tab in the “Template Properties” form. This tab provides central control for the multi-page feature. There are some duplicate controls related to repeating elements that are on their associated tabs. The details for the controls in the above are explained in the respective editing sections in this document.

b)As an example of the repeat controls being duplicated on other tabs is shown below for row/swimlane labels:

c) Lastly, multi-page controls are accessible from the “Print” tab under the “File” tab of the ribbon:

d) Clicking the “Print” button in the “File” tab above will reveal the Windows “Print” form as shown below:

e) Clicking the “Settings” button will bring up the “Page Layout” tab of the “Project-View Properties” form as shown below:

Global Editing of Templates

Global editing of multi-page features is also provided in OnePager “Templates” which may be accessed from the Microsoft Project tool bar. The controls provided on the “Page Layout” tab of the “Template Properties” form (Template) are identical to the controls on the “Page Layout” tab of the “Project-View Properties” form. Changes made to the OnePager template with will be automatically applied to any project view subsequently created with that template. Changing a template does not affect a project view that was created with the template before the template was changed.
