MicroStrategy ONE

Formatting a document for MicroStrategy Web

Flash View and HTML View in MicroStrategy Developer display the document as it will look in MicroStrategy Web, which can help you size and place objects. Although PDF View accurately displays the document as a PDF, it is not as precise for documents that will be displayed in MicroStrategy Web.

A good way to do this is to open the document in a separate browser window. This way, you can edit the document while referring to a copy as it will display in MicroStrategy Web. For instructions, see Opening documents in separate browser windows: Exporting documents to HTML.

HTML View, Flash View, and PDF View all preview the results of the document. However, you cannot print the document in HTML View or Flash View. To print the document, use PDF View. For instructions, see Printing documents.

For instructions to switch to Flash View or HTML View, see Previewing documents for MicroStrategy Web. For instructions to resize and move controls, see Arranging controls on a document.

Prerequisites to use Flash View and HTML View

Before you can switch to Flash View or HTML View, you must enable Flash View or HTML View. See Enabling Flash View and HTML View for directions.

Before the document can be viewed in MicroStrategy Web, select which modes it can be displayed in. For instructions, see Selecting available display modes for MicroStrategy Web.

Finally, if your document contains any of the following, you must embed fonts:

  • Anti-alias support

  • Vertical text

  • Graph labels rotated 45, 90, or 180º

For more information and instructions, see Embedding fonts for Flash Mode (MicroStrategy Web).
