Yes!
I'm done writing my cover letter, and although I plan to email it to the company, I still
want to print it for myself, as well.
Before I print, I want to take a look at the whole page and see what it will look like.
With Print Preview, I can do this!
Let's click the Microsoft Office Button, and select Print, then Print Preview from the
menu.
You can see that my cover letter opens in Preview format.
From here I can see how the document will appear and I can modify page setup options
such as Margins, Page Size, and Orientation.
If I'm working with a multi-page document, I can navigate among these pages, zoom in
and out, and change many other printing options by selecting the Options command.
When I'm satisfied with my document, just simply click the Print command.
If I want to return to Word and make some additional changes, all I need to do is click
Close Print Preview.
If I'm sure that I like my document just as it is, I can click the Microsoft Office Button
and click Print, and then Print again.
The Print dialog box appears.
From here, I can select the pages I want to print and the number of copies I'd like.
If this were a multi-page document, I would need to decide whether I want to Collate the
pages or not.
If you're printing multiple copies of a multi-page report, you'll want to pay close attention
to this.
If I'm working from a location that has multiple printers, I may need to select the printer
I'd like to use.
I can also change many other settings by clicking the Properties button.
Sometimes I find it helpful to print only with black ink, even though I'm using my color
printer.
This saves ink.
This is just one of the many things you can change using the Properties dialog box.
When you're ready, just click OK.
Sometimes I don't need to choose a printer or select a number of copies.
If you just want to print one copy quickly on your default printer, select Print, then
Quick Print, from the Microsoft Office Button menu.
Each printer is set-up differently, so your options won't appear exactly as mine do.
