No wrap in printed document

[burkheadnsroc]

I have a MS project schedule and it looks great on my computer screen (all of the text wraps and shows up in all cells). However, when I print, none of the text wraps. The cells that have wrapped test are still large enough for the text, but the text stops at the end of the first row in the cell. I've tried multiple printers and PDF, but, nothing works. Any Ideas? Thanks!!

Keeps the version of Project a secret.

Keeps the name of the report a secret.

Expects help.

(Probably not even aware that some fields simply don't wrap.)

Thanks for the response!!! Sorry if I wasn't specific enough with my post. I'm new to this site and to MS project. I'm using Microsoft Project 2000 (9.0.2000.0224). My operating system is XP Professional Version 2002 with service Pack 2.

The cells in question are within the Task Name, Resource Names, and Notes columns. Again, they wrap fine on my computer screen, but, won't wrap in the printed document. Thanks!!!

Still waiting for the name of the report.

I'm not sure what your asking for. I'm working on a Gantt Chart, if that's what you mean. I could give you the name of the file, but, I'm don't think that's signaficant to my problem. Sorry for my ignorance. I really would appriciate any help you could offer.

So you click:

View | Gantt
File | Print and click on the OK button

Is that correct?

Yes, other than selecting the printer, paper size, and time scale, I print the chart as you describe.

I no longer have access to P2000.

In P2003 ...

I set the Task Name column to something fairly narrow (displayed about 15 characters per line).

I selected all tasks and adjusted the height of all rows so that they displayed 2 lines of text on the screen.

Two tasks were adjusted so that they showed only 1 row of text on the screen.

Two tasks were adjusted so that they showed 4 lines of text on the screen.

Most remaining tasks needed 4 or 5 lines to show all text so the task names were truncated after two lines.

Clicking on the Print Preview button showed a report similar to the on screen display with text wrapping correctly and with some text truncated because, even with wrapping, not all text could be displayed.

File | Print generated the expected report listing.

Where the wrapping algorithm (break lines at spaces) could not work, the line contraining the unwrappable text was truncated but remaining text was correctly wrapped. (The taskname was "DoNotWrapThisDoNotWrapThisDoNotWrapThis but you can wrap this at a space".)

Resource Names, multiple predecessors, multiple successors were not wrapped because there were only commas and no spaces in those fields.

If this doesn't give you some insight/suggestions into how you might adjust your project, send a copy to me PDQBach4100 at h0tmail and I'll see if there is something else you might try.
