About Manual Editing of Multi-Page Outputs

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

Select Position of Manual Horizontal Page Break

You can select, drag, and drop an automatic vertical or horizontal page break. By right clicking in open space where you desire to place a page break, OnePager displays the context menu below to let you insert a horizontal or vertical manual page break:

When you click the Horizontal sub-command as shown above, OnePager creates a new page break at the position of your original right click as shown below:

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

Selecting a Manual Horizontal Pager Break

You can now select the page break with a left or right click. Also, a left click displays a border around the page break as shown below:

Dragging and Dropping a Manual Horizontal Page Break

After selecting the horizontal page break, dragging the cursor to the left or right changes 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 completes the action as shown below:

Inserting a page break manually overrides any previous settings of the Height or Width settings section as shown below:

Deleting a Manual Horizontal Page Break

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

Deleting Page Breaks

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.

Further, if you are in the 3 X 2 mode, say, and you delete a manual page break, OnePager inserts 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 need to change the contents of the Width window on the Page Layout tab. After completing the delete of the page break, the chart looks 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. The default setting for both of these is one (1). The two controls are synchronized with the Page Layout tab of the Chart Properties form.

Global Editing of Page Layout with the Chart Properties Form

Global controls over multiple pages are in the Page Layout tab in both the Chart Properties form and the Template Properties forms.

Chart Properties Form's Page Layout Tab

The Page Layout tab, is shown below:

Above is the Chart 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.

Repeating Adornment Element Controls on Other Chart Properties Form's Tabs

There are some duplicate controls related to repeating adornment elements that are on their associated tabs.

The details for the controls in the above are explained in the article at: Page Setup, Document Fitting, and Repeating Elements (Portal)

An example of the repeat controls being duplicated on other tabs is shown below for row/swimlane labels:

Clicking the Print button on the OnePager File ribbon tool bar tab above accesses the Windows Print form as shown below:

Settings Button

Clicking the Settings button accesses the Page Layout tab of the Chart Properties form as shown below:

Global Editing of Page Layout with the Templates Properties Form

Global editing of multi-page features is provided in OnePager's Templates Properties form which can be accessed from the Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel tool bar. The controls provided on the Page Layout tab of the Template Properties form are identical to the controls on the Page Layout tab of the Chart Properties form. Changes made to the OnePager Template with are automatically applied to any chart subsequently created with that Template. Changing a Template does not affect a chart that was created with the Template before the Template was changed.
