Sometimes the items in a print preview are what you want, but if not, you can customize them. You can even remove the project title or legend. For more about creating headers, footers, or legends, see Add a header, footer, or legend when printing.

Here’s how you can change which items, like a project title or legend, are included when you print a Gantt chart or Diagram view.

  1. In the Gantt chart view, click Gantt Chart Tools Format > Format > Bar Styles.

    Change the legend on a printed view

  2. To include a bar name in the printed legend, delete the asterisk in front of the name. And if you don’t want to print a bar name, just add an asterisk in front the bar’s name.
