Printing from a Program


In most programs, you can print a document on any printer that's installed on your computer or shared over a network. By using the Print dialog box, you can specify which printer to use and can customize the way your document is printed.

Print a Document

With the document open in its program, choose Print from the File menu to display the Print dialog box.

Specify the printer you want to use.

Click Preferences if you need to change the printer settingsfor example, the size of the paper being used, whether the document is to be printed in color or in black and white, and so on. (Note, however, that sometimes the program's settings will override your own settings.)

Click Find Printer to find and use a printer on a network that isn't listed in the Select Printer section.

Specify the pages you want to print.

Specify how many copies of each page you want.

Specify whether you want multiple copies to be printed with the pages in order (collated) or whether you want each page to be printed multiple times before the next page is printed. (Collated printing is usually slower than uncollated printing.)

Click Print.

Tip

The Selection option in the Page Range section of the Print dialog box tells the printer to print the text or the item that's currently selected in the document. The Current Page option tells the printer to print either the page that contains the insertion point or the page that's displayed.


Tip

If the Print command on the File menu isn't followed by an ellipsis (...), the Print dialog box probably won't be displayed, and the document will be printed on the default printer using the default settings.
