What this page is about
For those of you who have just joined us, this is a page in the series of Basic Concepts in Word. Use the menu at left to go to the different pages.
Each Basic Concept page has three sections:
- A how-to Tutorial
- Reference section
- Curiosity Shop for the inquisitive.
Tutorial
Use File > Print Preview to see how your document will look when it's printed.
You can use the toolbar buttons to see one page, or several pages at once.
Press Esc to get back to the ordinary view of your document.
When you've finished creating your document, you are ready to print.
Choose File > Print, then click OK.
Curiosity Shop: More about printing
When you choose File > Print, you see the Print dialog. There you'll see a "Print What" box. Of course most of the time you want to print your document. But it's often useful to get a printout of the styles you've used in the document. To do that, in the Print What box, choose Styles.
