The final stage of any production—well, any traditional production—is printing out a hard copy. First, however, you can get a better idea of how the final result will look by using the Preview button (the eighth button from left on the main toolbar) or by choosing File --> Page Preview. This displays a more accurate rendition of the page.
The Print button (next to the Preview button), the File --> Print menu, or the Ctrl+P shortcut key will launch the standard Print dialog box. You can select a printer, set the page size, define the number of copies, and set the pages to be printed in this dialog box (see Figure 1-28). Options relating to the selected printer are accessible from the Properties button, while the Options button has many things to change, including preventing graphics from being printed, setting left- or right-only page printing, or turning off backgrounds. These options can be useful for proofing documents without wasting ink and time. Click OK to initiate the printing process.
Comprehensive printing options provide good control over how your final document
