Wrap-Up

Printing should be a simple matter of choosing File image Print from a program’s menu bar, or right-clicking a document and choosing Print. Here’s a quick recap of the main points of this chapter:

  • To print the document you’re currently viewing, choose File from that program’s menu bar. Or, click the Print button in its toolbar or press Ctrl+P.
  • To print a closed document from its icon, right-click that icon and choose Print.
  • When the Print tab or Print dialog box opens, you can choose a printer, a print quality, and other settings before you print.
  • To print the screen, press Windows+Print Screen and open the file in a graphics program. You also can first capture the entire screen by pressing the Print Screen key. Or, press Alt+Print Screen to capture just the current window. Then, open any graphics program and press Ctrl+V. Finally, print the screenshot from that program.
  • To see what an open document will look like before you print it, choose File image Print Preview from the program’s menu bar.
