Print and export framework matrices

 


Framework matrices help you to summarize your source materials. You may want to print a framework matrix and review it with your peers or you may want to export it as a spreadsheet.

What do you want to do?


 


Print a framework matrix

  1. Click on the framework matrix in Detail View or List View.

  2. Click the File tab, point to Print, and then click Print.

Keyboard Shortcut To display the Print Options dialog box, press CTRL+P.

  1. Select the required print options.

NOTE  

  • You can use Print Preview to check the layout of the framework matrix on the page before you print it.  If necessary, you can change the paper size, orientation or margins—refer to Print project items for more information.

  • By default, the framework matrix is scaled to fit the width of the paper you are printing on—clear the Scale to Page Width check box, if you want to print the matrix across multiple pages.

  • If you click in the associated view (rather than the matrix), the content of the associated view is printed.
