To manage a mind maps effectively, you may need to communicate map information to a variety of people. With iMindQ®, you can print maps and charts that present the exact information you want.

The process of printing the information you need can be as simple as clicking a button or as refined as customizing and previewing the existing views. No matter how simple or refined the process, printing a map or chart consists of essentially the same steps:

Select the map or chart that best presents the information you want – If a predefined map or chart does not meet your exact needs, you can apply different styles.

Make display changes to the map or chart – For example, you may want to scale information to fit on a single page.

Preview a map or chart before it is printed – Previewing a view or report can help you verify content and display changes you made so you can adjust them again if necessary.

Print the map or chart – To make printing as efficient as possible you can specify the options you want. For example, you can print multiple copies.

You can make changes to the way a printed view or report looks by specifying page setup options such as page orientation, scale, or paper size.

Once you open the Page Setup dialog, you can follow the steps below to specify the page and other printing options for a view or a report. Note that some of the options in the Page Setup dialog available for views may not be available for the reports.

Some options may differ between different views as well:

1. Click the Page tab in the Page Setup dialog.

2. To change page orientation, under Orientation, click Portrait (vertical) or Landscape (horizontal).

3. To scale pages, under Scaling, click Adjust to, and then type the percentage at which you want information to appear on your printed pages in the % normal size box.

4. To adjust page fit (some views only), under Scaling, click Fit to, and then specify the number of pages you want in the pages wide by and tall boxes.

5. To change the paper size, click the paper size you want in the Paper Size box.

6. Click the Margins tab.

7. In the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right boxes, type or select the new margin settings
