SYMPTOMS
When printing from Microsoft Project 98, you may experience one of the
following issues:
- On a multi-page printout, the text stops printing.
- On a multi-page printout, gridlines disappear.
- On a multi-page printout, text fonts change style and size.
- On a multi-page printout, many pages print with little information
on each page.
- A message that says:
There is not enough memory to complete this operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again.
This is followed by the message:
An unexpected error occurred during printing or copying. Try one of
the following:
If you are printing across a network, check your network connections.
Try printing from another program.
Free up available memory by closing programs, projects, or windows
you aren't using.
- Additional Gantt bars are drawn.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when scaling is any value other than 100 percent. When
a project that normally prints on many pages is scaled to fit on fewer
pages, Microsoft Project may truncate the data or print it in the wrong
location.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem if you do not have SR-1, change the scaling
factor to 100%. To do this, follow these steps:
- On the File menu, click Page Setup.
- On the Page tab, under Scaling, click Adjust To,
and adjust the scaling value to 100% Normal Size.
RESOLUTION
This problem was corrected in Microsoft Project 98 for Windows, Service
Release 1 (SR-1).
