Drawing page v printing page

[Clare in NC]

My network diagram prints over 4 letter pages. (We don't have a plotter so I
tape them together to hang on the wall) I have tried to figure out a way to
insert a 'title' box, but can't figure out how to make it print on only 1
page. Headers and footers print on ever page as does the legend (or only on
its own page)
Is there any way to create a 'drawing' page like you can in Visio? If I
could make a drawing page of 17x22 then the footer would only show up on 1
logical page and when it prints, it would still divide the diagram on 4
printer pages when printed.
Any help would be appreciated,
Clare

The Project network diagram is weak. There are 3rd party programs out
there that read the MPP file and do a better job. They are so
inexpensive it's not worth your while to fiddle with Project, IMHO.

Hi Clare,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

I would have borders printed only around Outer Pages (Print Preview/Margins
tab) , delete all headers and footers (except possibly for the page number),
print the Legend on one page with the title of the project printed in the
left corner of the legend. That's about the best you can do.

Hi Rob,
nice to know that there are 3rd party programs out there that do a
better job than the MSP network diagram - If you have any internet
resources I would appreciate.
Cheers Michael

Google will find them. The one I occasionally use is PERT Chart Expert.
