In print preview mode, a new menu appears with the following commands:
Magnify
Allows you to zoom in.
Reduce
Allows you to zoom out. At the minimum setting, the whole chart may be displayed, showing the page numbers (but very large charts will still require scrolling).
Opens the standard print dialog-box. This allows you to choose which pages to print, and how many copies. Other printer settings including media size and orientation must already have been chosen from the Options menu, since this information is needed by the program in order to create the chart.
Pressing Print in any of the various dialog boxes performs the same function.
Save
Opens the standard "Save As" dialog-box, allowing you to choose a filename and save the chart as an image file in PNG (Portable Network Graphics) or JPEG format, or as a PDF (Portable Document Format), RTF (Rich Text Format), SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), Postscript or LaTeX file, or as one or more HTML pages.
Best results, and the most compact charts, will normally be obtained by selecting the No page breaks option (choose Full Chart from the Options menu) before generating the chart. A PDF file created using this option will show the chart on a single page; whereas if "With page breaks" is selected, the PDF file will show the chart broken up into individual pages, in a form suitable for printing.

Images
Opens the Image Options dialog-box, allowing you to enable or disable insertion of images or text into the chart, to specify whether you want to prevent images from being enlarged beyond their original size, and to choose the font for text to be inserted into the chart. See HowTo: Add pictures or text to a chart for instructions.
Cancel
Exits print preview mode and restores the main menu. The chart you have displayed is discarded. All options and settings you have used to produce the chart will be retained.
In print preview mode, the chart is displayed on screen as it is formatted for printing, with page breaks shown by dotted lines. The zoom facility applies only to the screen display, and has no effect on how the chart will appear on the printed page. Especially at the lower magnifications, and depending on the choice of fonts, the appearance and spacing of the text may differ from the printed result: because the screen resolution is much lower than that of the printer, the screen representation will be more accurate when magnified relative to the printed output.
