One way to shorten a progress report is to limit the number of assignments that are included. There are two common ways to do this: 1) in the options window for a progress report, click the set button after the Assignment Chart option, choose Assignments on or after-> from the Include menu and set a date on the calendar; 2) in the score chart, use items in the View menu to hide some of the assignments; in the options window for a progress report, click the set button after the Assignment Chart option and choose Displayed Assignments Only from the Include menu.
