Hey Ridino,
Thank you for the Shift+ Enter Tip , but if Considering only showing the footer on the first page to save space/paper/trees. how to show page numbers in the balance pages please advice
regards
Mahmoud Amin
It's really a shame that you can do nothing to customize your print outputs with P6. We have 32 project with nearly 40 contractors, with the features of page setup, every time I want to print a schedule I should manually fill the header and footer fields.
I wonder why they have not added some other fields to that really helpful "Add" feature at the bottom of header and footer tab, such as: [total_activities] , [Actual_completed_activities], [project_status], [Actual in-progress activities], [actual not started activities] and some UDFs for data like the name of the contractor and the name of the engineer.
Couple of tips:
Use Shift enter to move text a single line down, pressing enter by itself does a double space.
Use pictures. Make sure they are small in size (JPEG or PNG) GIFs wont work. You can make a picture of anything you want, even text, and put it in the footer.
Consider only showing the footer on the first page to save space/paper/trees.
Make the report name/project name a larger font or in Italics. It will help explain to people what they are looking at.
