Design a print view
When designing a form, you can create a special version of the form
For example, if your form contains multiple views, you might design a print view that consolidates key information from each of those views in a single printed page. You can also specify custom print settings for a print view, such as page margins or printer, which allows you to control how and where the form is printed.
Developers can further control the way their forms print by designing and designating print views for use in Microsoft Office Word.
- In design mode, click Manage Views on the View menu.
- In the Select a view list in the Views task pane, click the view for which you want to create a print view.
- Under Actions, click Create Print Version for This View.
- In the Create Print Version dialog box, type a name for the print view, and then click OK.
- In the Views task pane, click the print view you created, and then click View Properties.
- In the View Properties dialog box, select the options you want on the Print Settings and Page Setup tabs.
For help on an option, click Help.
