WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

In Microsoft Project, when you view your project in print preview, and you choose the Multiple Pages button, the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys do not scroll to continuous pages in the project.

For example, if page 5 is the last page on the screen in print preview with multiple pages, when you press PAGE DOWN, the page displayed at the top of the screen is not page 6.

= CAUSE =

When you use the Multiple Pages button to view your project in print preview, the project scrolls down one-fifth of the total number of pages in the project at a time when you press the PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN keys. For example, if your project contains 100 pages, the project scrolls down 20 pages when you press the DOWN ARROW key. Depending on the size of your Microsoft Project application window, this may not allow continuous scrolling in Print Preview.

= WORKAROUND =

To scroll through your project in more detail when you view it in multiple pages in print preview, use the direction keys or the scroll bar to scroll through the project.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
