Use

You use this function to print data from objects you are editing in the Engineering Workbench.

If you

·        Want to print the data in an overview quickly and in tabular form, you can use the list printout function in the Engineering Workbench.

·        Want to incorporate graphics and combine data from various different overviews, you can print via Microsoft Word 97 (or higher).

Example

You employ your personnel capacity flexibly (job rotation). So your employees can be quickly trained to carry out activities at a new work center, you supply them with illustrated operational method sheets at the work center (see the example below). You therefore print via Microsoft Word 97 (or higher).
