Viewing and Printing Reports

When you generate any report from the Reports menu, or built-in (but not mail merge) receipts from the Receipt menu, they will show up on a Reports window for previewing. You can scroll through the report with the scroll bar, or by using the First Page, Previous Page, Next Page and Last Page VCR-style toolbar buttons.

Send the report to your printer with the Print button (or Ctrl+P or Alt+P). To choose another printer or set printer options (such as double-sided printing if available) use the Print Setup button. (This accesses the same option as the File à Print Setup menu on the main window.)

When you print normal reports (except for receipts) or sample receipts, you will be shown a standard Print dialog box that allows you to do things such as select a printer, or select a range of pages or a number of copies. The Print dialog box is not shown for real receipts, because it is important to print all of them if you have generated them. You need to send them to your donors and you would not want to accidentally fail to send out some of them because you didn't print them all.

Exit the reports window by closing it with the normal "X" close button on the top right-hand corner, or by using the Close button or pressing ESC.

The following are the other buttons for things you can do on the Reports window:
