    • When in the 'Print Report' dialog by using File > Print Report, or clicking onto the 'Print' icon from the 'Desktop summary' screen, you now have the ability to Print Preview the report.

    Once the report is selected and 'Print' is clicked on, you are taken to a 'Print Preview' of the selected report.

    From this new dialog screen, there are several new features such as Print to a printer of your choice and save the report as a PDF.
