MS Visio

Hi Helen thanks for your query. I'm afraid you're not the only one to find printing from Visio a nightmare. It's very much a process of tweaking the various settings, there's a useful walkthrough here:

As for the critical path in Project, again I sympathise! For five year projects some companies use roller printers and wallpaper the room with the critical path, for smaller projects use the print settings in tandem with filters to drill into a smaller part of the project, say just this weeks critical tasks. Once a project gets beyond a certain scope, getting it onto one sheet of A4 just becomes impossible.

Hope this helps,

Anthony
