Re: Default to Print Preview when hitting "print" When you click the Microsoft Office Button, instead of clicking Print, point at it and another menu will display and there's where you'll find Print Preview. If you want to add it to your Quick Access Toolbar, right-click Print Preview and then click Add to Quick Access Toolbar. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Re: Default to Print Preview when hitting "print" Good point. Silly me - when I can't find something in Word 2007, which often happens, I either hit F1 or go to http://office.microsoft.com/assistan...HA100744321033 I *REALLY* like that site. Well, except for the time I was trying to alphabetize a bunch of paragraphs. It was no help whatsoever. And then Patrick told me how. It was one of those "D'oh!" moments. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Beth Melton" news:esXFeWigHHA.2432@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >I suspect if he could find the Print Preview icon then he wouldn't be >posting here, right? ;-) > > > Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Re: Default to Print Preview when hitting "print" Thanks for the replies! Even if I both remember to and take the time to hit "print preview," it will not show me what I want to print if I have selected something. That is, it only shows me the whole page/ document, not "selection." That sort of defeats the whole purpose, which is to have an idea what will actually emerge from the printer and, if necessary, to make some adjustments before actually printing. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you. On Apr 18, 10:25 pm, "JoAnn Paules" > Good point.

Re: Default to Print Preview when hitting "print" Word has never provided the ability to preview your selection. If you had this ability in previous versions then you had a custom macro for it. Now, you can Preview a selection in Excel, perhaps that's what you are thinking of? Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Re: Default to Print Preview when hitting "print" FWIW the "print preview" you recall is most likely due to the printer and driver you were using with Word 97. You may have that ability in the current set up, but you will need to rummage around in the printer properties and preferences from the operating system side of the printer settings. ldodero wrote: > Thanks for the replies!
