You can print a report on paper, preview it on your screen, or export it in several convenient formats.
The printing procedure is similar no matter which report you choose to print.
Before you print an estimate report

Open the Estimate Catalog if it is not already open. On the Home tab of the Estimating spreadsheet, in the Catalogs group, click Estimates.
The Estimate Catalog opens, displaying a list of estimates in your Estimates database.

Use the arrows in the catalog pane to display the branches with the estimates you want to work with.
-
Double-click the estimate to open it on a tab in the spreadsheet.
To print a report:
-
On the ribbon, select the Reports tab, and then from the Estimate Reports group, click the report you want to print.
