I have not been able to set up our transcripts to print in two columns - I have followed directions in Knowledgebase to set this up (chosing to "Print Details in 2 Columns"). It does not work. And if I choose to "Copy Columns," it just repeats the same info. Has anyone done this? We often have 10 or more courses to list and have trouble keeping to one page....
thanks
If the problem is with the Details (course/grade) section of the transcript:1. Select the Details tab and make sure you have selected to show the Details section in 2 columns2. Compare the Section width of each section on the Detail tab to the available Column width listed at the top of the tab. If your section width is in red, then the column width number is too high (making the column too wide to fit all of the information in the column). To fix this, double click on the problem section to open it (such as Courses), select the Columns tab, and decrease the width of one or more of your columns.
If the problem is with the Student information in the header of the transcript:1. Select the Format tab, highlight Format (under Header), and make sure you have selected to show student information in 2 columns2. Select the correct number of fields to show in each column row
If the problem is with your Summary/Notes section of the transcript:Select the Summary/Notes tab and follow the same recommendations made above for the Details section of the transcript.
Some other hints:Multi-column transcripts usually work best in Landscape format, which can be selected on the General tab of the transcript.Adjust the font size on the General tab to see if this makes a difference.
Hope this helps!
Thanks Pam -
The problem is with the Course/Grade (Details) section andI have tried all thise things you mentioned - even the lansdscape. Everything I try, I still get most of the course info piled into column one and the academic year at the bottom is broken in half with part of the courses listed in column one and some in column two. I even tried checking "Keep Year Together Across Pages" and this does not help. I played with the Sort/Break and this did not work. Keep thinking I'm missing something simple. Our schools has both academic and arts classes so each year there are ten or more courses listed and we'd like it all on one page....If I could just get it to break the 4 years in half with two in each column, that would be teriffic.
