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?

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

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.
