The Report Viewer lets you select the options for the report, then shows you on screen what your printout will look like on paper. On the far left are the options for the report. On the right is a list of thumbnails of each page in the report. You can use the arrow keys or the scroll bar to scroll through each page in the report, use the mouse to scroll down (or up), or enter the page number and go to the desired page.
The Viewer has a number of buttons across the top of the screen:
•Print – Allows you to print the report you are currently viewing. RootsMagic will bring up the print options dialog.
•Save – Create an Acrobat PDF, Word (DOCX), Excel (XLSX), comma separated (CSV) or text file (TXT) from the report. (more options available)
•Copy to Clipboard – Choose a format to copy the report to your computer's clipboard, then paste it outside of the program.
•Start – Displays the first page of the report
•Previous – Displays the page before the currently displayed one.
•Next – Displays the page after the currently displayed one.
•End - Displays the last page of the report
•Zoom Out – Zooms out of the document to show you more of the overall look of the document.
•Zoom In – Zooms in on the document to show you more detail.
•Fit Page Width – Zoom the document so that the width of the page fits on the screen.
•Fit to Page – Zoom the document so that an entire page fits on the screen.
•Show Page Thumbnails – Select this option to show or hide the page thumbnails for the report
Copy a report to another application
Create the report, choose Copy to Clipboard, and select one of the offered formats. Open the program where you want to use the report, such as your word processor, and paste it there. Choose a format suited to what you need to copy: text, a table, or a picture.
Check the pasted result for missing columns, changed line breaks, and formatting differences. The receiving application controls how clipboard content is interpreted. If the layout matters, use Save and inspect the exported file instead.
Copying a report does not change its people or facts in RootsMagic. Changes made to the pasted copy do not update the database. After changing report settings, generate the report again before copying the new result.
