Printing and Print Preview

Have you ever printed a web page that spilled across multiple sheets and wished it could have fit on a single page?  The improved printing in IE 7 addresses this problem by allowing the user to graphically control the page layout by adjusting margins, size, and location of the page to be printed.

·         Demonstration: entering the Print Preview mode

o        Enter the Print Preview mode by clicking on the down arrow next to the printer icon and choosing the Print Preview option

o        Enter the Print Preview mode from the Menu Bar by selecting File, Print Preview (the Menu Bar may have to be enabled by pressing the Alt key)

 

·         Demonstration: controlling the page layout using Print Preview

o        Use the various options at the top of the Print Preview to select portrait or landscape layout, to disable or enable showing header/footer information, and change page display size

o        Adjust the printer margins by clicking and dragging the margin indicators

o        Scroll the mouse wheel while depressing the Control key to change the location of the graphic image on the page
