To print the document, select the Print command from the File menu (or click on the Print button on the toolbar). The "Print" dialog is displayed.
The active printer and connection are displayed at the top of the dialog. You can choose to use another printer by selecting it in the Name box (see Print set-up).
In the Print range group box, you can specify how much of the document you want to print:
All pages – prints the entire document.
Current page – prints the page you are currently working on.
Pages – prints a range of pages which you specify in the attached box. For example, 1,3,7-12 will print pages 1, 2 and all pages from 7 to 12. Remember to put commas after each sub-range and to use hyphens to specify a continuous range between two numbers.
In the Copies group box, you can specify the number of copies you would like and how the printed pages are to be ordered:
Scroll through the Number of copies box to select how many copies of the document, page or range you want printing.
If you want more than one copy of a document, you can choose the order for the pages when they are printed. The default setting will make the first page print till the correct number of copies is printed, followed by the second page, and so on. If you click on the Collate check box, the document will print as a whole consecutively, followed by a second copy of the document, and so on.
The Print box allows you to choose to print only odd or even, or both odd and even, pages from the print range selected in the Print range box.
Click on the Print to file check box if you want to send the document to a new file on a disk, instead of to the printer. You will be prompted to give the file a name.
If you want to modify printer settings, select the Properties button. The different options displayed in subsequent dialogs will depend on the current printer. (See your printer documentation, or Windows help, for more details.)
When all is set, click on the OK button and the printing process will commence. There will be a pause while the information is sent to the printer, and then the physical printing will begin.
