- Clicking the close button will close the preview window and take you back to where you were before you pressed the print button.

- The Magnifying glass button allows you to change the zoom on your page to make the entire report appear larger or smaller on your screen.
- The A buttons with an arrow pointing up and down will increase or decrease the font size on the report respectively.

These options will all open the report directly in the associated program. The file option will allow you to save the report as a PDF to any location you choose.
