Before visiting a prospect or client, how about printing out practically all the information you have in GoldMine for them?

Not a bad idea, eh?

First find the record.

Next choose File | Print Report.

File Print Report

Next, set your Print report options (Type, Category, User, Report, Current Contact, and Output) to these:

Report Options for Detailed Report 

… and click OK.

The report will be displayed.  Use the Printer icon to choose where to print the report to and the Pint icon to send it to the printer!

I like using Page-Up & Page-Down to scroll through the pages.
