Preview and Print
Use the Print Preview button on the Standard toolbar (or select Print Preview from the File menu) to preview your document before you print it.
The Preview window lets you see exactly how your document will appear on the page.
Notice that the pointer appears as a magnifying glass with a plus sign in the middle. Click the mouse to zoom in on the document. Click again to zoom back out.
You can also zoom in and out by specifying a value in the Zoom box on the toolbar.
To view several pages at once, click the Multiple Pages button on the toolbar, then select a layout from the menu.
Use the One Page button to change the view back to one page.
To print your document from the Preview window, simply click the Print button on the toolbar.
Or, to return to the document without printing, click the Close button.
To print your document without previewing:
- Open the File menu and select Print (or press Ctrl+p).
The Print dialog opens.
- Make sure the correct printer is selected in the Name field.
Tip:
The Properties button lets you specify additional options specific to your printer. These include paper type, collating and hole punching, and color settings.
- Select the page range. To print a specific page range, select the Pages option and enter the beginning and ending page numbers separated by a hyphen (for example, 5-20).
- Enter the number of copies.
- Click OK.
Microsoft Word prints your document using the selected printer.
Tip:
Click the Print button on the Standard toolbar to print a document using the default settings. Word will send the document to your default printer without opening the Print dialog.
