Previewing a document before printing |
Before you print, it's a good idea to see how your document will look on the printed page. The Print Preview command on the File menu shows you a reduced view of your document. You can zoom in if you want to see parts of a page in full size view. If you decide you're ready to print your document, you can do so from the Print Preview window.
Tip: If you're printing a multiple-page diagram or mind map, it's helpful to see where the page breaks will be. See Showing or hiding the page lines.
