Chapter 6: Formatting and Layout
Milestones Simplicity offers the most complete and fl exible layout of any project management package available.
You have complete control over page size, rows per page, individual row height, and all other layout aspects of your
schedule.
Layout
In the new Enhanced Toolbar, choose the Layout tab to access formatting choices such as page size, legend size,
row size, and symbol size.
Change the chart size and margins
1. Choose Layout | Page Size.
2. Next to Chart Size, enter a horizontal and vertical value in inches.
3. Next to Margins, enter a value in inches for the Left, Right, Top
and Bottom margin areas.
4. Next to Printer Orientation, choose Landscape or Portrait.
5. Next to Rows per Page, enter the number of rows that should appear on
each page.
6. Select the Apply Setting Changes button. You must press the apply
button in order for all changes made to the Layout | Page Size menu to
take effect.
Rows per page and row height
Display 2 to 300 rows per page. If you override the height of one or more individual rows, then the actual number
of rows on that page may be more or less than the rows per page value in Layout. That is, if a row height is
decreased, then the rows per page may increase; if the height is increased, the rows per page may decrease.
The default row height is based upon the available space for rows divided by the number of rows per page. If you
choose Layout | Row/Symbol Sizes | Reset all rows to default height, then any row heights that you modifi ed
will be reset to the default value. The number of rows per page will also be restored.
Scaling the chart size to the current paper size
To access the current paper size, click on the Full Page Layout dialog button found in the bottom right of the Page
Size section.
Create stamp-size to wall-size schedules. The maximum horizontal and vertical chart size is approximately 300
inches, or 25 feet. When the schedule prints, Milestones Simplicity will either scale each page of your schedule to
fi t within the Current Paper Size, or it will allow each page to span as many sheets of paper as needed, depending
upon the printing options you select. To avoid the need for scaling, it is best to make sure that your Chart Size
exactly matches the Current Paper Size.
The measurements in the Page Layout dialog box are shown in U.S. inches. If your regional settings are set to use
metric, then the measurements will be shown in centimeters.
