Printing All or Part of Your Document

You can print your entire document, a selected page range, or only odd or even

pages. You can also print several pages on a single sheet of paper or print pages in

reverse order.

To make sure everything is laid out the way you expect, it’s a good idea to preview a

document before you print it out.

To preview a document for printing:

1

Choose File > Print, and then click the Preview button in the Print dialog.

Preview shows what individual document pages will look like when printed. It doesn’t

show the effects of some layout options, such as borders. (For more information about

layout options, see “Setting a Print Layout and Other Options” on page 228.)

2

Select the checkbox labeled Soft Proof at the bottom-left corner of the Preview

window to take your printer’s capabilities into account. For example, if you’re printing

a color document to a black-and-white printer, selecting Soft Proof previews the

document in black and white.

3

Click Print to print your document directly from the Preview window.

For information about using Preview, see Preview Help. (Choose Help > Preview Help

when the Preview window is active.)
