Insert a Page Break

It can be useful to keep certain information together (such as a summary task and its subtasks) on the same page. You can accomplish this by inserting page breaks into your view.

You can use the page breaks that Microsoft Project automatically inserts in your view, or you can insert manual page breaks to keep information on the same page. You can insert manual page breaks in any view except form views, graph views, the Calendar view, and the PERT views. Inserted page breaks are marked with a specific gridline pattern for easy identification. You can also remove manual page breaks individually or all at once.

You cannot insert a page break directly into a report. However, page breaks inserted in a view appear in reports that contain the same kind of information as that view. For example, if you select a task and then insert a page break in the Task Sheet view, the page break will occur before that task in the Task report.

When you filter or sort information in a view or report, each page break remains with the task or resource selected when you inserted the page break. For example, if a task is not displayed when you apply a filter, the page break associated with that task does not appear in the view or report.

To insert a page break

  1. On the View Bar, click a sheet view.
    To select a view that doesn’t appear on the View Bar, click More Views , click the view you want in the Views list, and then click Apply.
  2. In the Task Name or Resource Name field, select the task or resource that you want to appear at the top of a new page.
  3. On the Insert menu, click Page Break.
