Description |
Report
Name |
|
Each Report
has a name. That is how you tell Mesa which report you want to
print or change. Report names should describe the report, e.g.,
Q1_Sales, Checking, Summary_Report.
|
Print
Button |
|
After a report
has been added, you can click on the print button to print the
currently selected report. The Print Button is a tool that you
can Apple-drag to the Toolbar or a Tool Holder in a window.
|
Ranges |
|
A range is
a group of cells or a graph that you want to print. Mesa starts
printing each range on a new page. A report can contain up to
32 ranges.
To print a
graph, use the format:
g=graphname

Range
Scaling Options |
|
The range
scaling options Smart Width and Smart Scale change the size of
the font used in printing the ranges. Smart Width will adjust
the printed range so that it is only one page wide. Smart Scale
will adjust the scale so that the entire range prints out on a
single page.
|
Page
View |
|
A report starts
as a blank page. Ranges are printed within the page margins. In
addition, you can place tags on the page. You should place tags
outside the margins so that they are not printed over. Tags contain
information that you want to appear on every page such as print
date or time, file name, or some text that you enter.
|
View
Scale |
|
A full-sized
page is too big to be displayed in the Report Format panel. You
can change the scale of the page (miniaturize it) so that you
can see more of the page, or ªzoom inº and work on a specific
part of the page.
|
Margins |
|
The margins
are the borders on the page within which ranges are printed. You
can adjust the margins by moving the mouse over a margin, clicking
and dragging until the margin is sized to your satisfaction. If
you hold the Apple key while you are dragging the margin, Mesa
will adjust the corresponding margin to the same size.
|
Page
Layout |
|
The Page Layout
allows you to change page attributes. For example, you could print
in landscape mode on legal paper by entering 14 for the paper
width and 8.5 for the height and clicking ªSet.º
|
Tags |
|
Tags can be
dragged and dropped onto your page and moved around. Tags contain
information such as print time and date, file name, page number,
etc. Tags are printed on every page. Be sure to place tags outside
the margins so that they are not covered by the ranges.
