Mistakes
you can avoid:
"Uh-oh.
I misspelled three words in my report. Can I fix them and print it again?"
| SPELL
CHECK before you print! Remember you'll have to be sure of proper names yourself. |
"Oh no! I left out a word. Can I add it and print
again?"
| PROOF
READ to make sure everything makes sense. Watch out for homonyms spell check can't
catch. Repeated words and omissions are other common mistakes. |
"Hmmm. I only needed to
print this page. I'll throw pages 2 and 3 away."
PRINT
PREVIEW will show you how many pages your document contains and how it will look.
Print only the pages you need. Don't be wasteful.
If your Word document just barely carries over to a second page use the Shrink to Fit
button to automatically put it all on one page.
Use Copy and Paste to print parts of messages or documents.
To print a picture from the Internet without the rest of the page, right-click on the
picture. Then click View Image. Now you can print as usual. |
Printing is great,
but ink and paper are expensive.
So, print wisely.

PRINT
AN INTERNET PICTURE WITHOUT THE PAGE'S TEXT
Right-click on the
picture you want to print.
Remember that a right-click causes a menu to appear.
The menu that appears can differ depending on the browser you are using. You might see
menu choices that include, "Print Picture". GREAT! Click that to print the pic.
Other browsers might show choices that include, "View Picture" or "View
Image". That'll work too. Click that to see the picture only, with all the
surrounding text removed. Now all you have to do is click File and Print, as usual.
Try it with the picture on the right.
Remember to begin with a right-click. That's the key.

|
Another
method is to use the toolbar that appears when resting your cursor over the picture. Look
for it near a corner of the picture. When it appears click the printer button on the
toolbar.
Rest your cursor over each of these pictures to see if the small toolbar appears on each
one. |

Let's see if you can print this picture
WITHOUT printing any of the surrounding text that also appears on this page. |

CHECK
TO SEE WHAT JOBS HAVE BEEN SENT TO YOUR PRINTER AND
DELETE OR STOP CERTAIN PRINT JOBS
This is helpful if
you're having problems, your items aren't printing or you've changed your mind and want to
stop an item from printing. Here are two ways to get to the same spot:
Method #1. Look for the tiny printer icon in the system tray. That's the area at the
bottom, right of the screen near the time. Click it to open the window that lists the
print jobs.
Method #2. Click the Start Menu button. It's in the bottom, left corner of the screen.
Move up and over Printers. Click.
There you'll see an icon for each printer setup on that computer. Double-click the icon
for the printer you are using. You might have more than one if various printers have been
setup for that computer.
Double-clicking the printer's icon will open a window that lists the jobs sent to that
printer.
Once you see the print job window, notice it also shows the status of each job.
To delete or stop a particular item from printing, click it once to highlight it. Then
press the delete key on your keyboard. Delete all existing print jobs by clicking
"Printer" in the Menu Bar, then click "Purge Print Jobs".
