Accurate setting, that is to say, which "hit"
When you mention the Word "print", you may subconsciously think of the print button in the Word toolbar. After clicking, every word in the whole manuscript will be printed without pulling. But the truth is, you only need to print part of the manuscript, not all of it. To this end, it is often necessary to make some specific settings to let the printer point to where to "type".
Type a specific page
Open the print attribute setting window shown in figure 1, and you can specify all the pages to be printed at will within the page range; If you want to print the page where the cursor is located, just select the "Current Page" option; If you need to print consecutive pages in a Word document, you can select Page Number Range, and then enter the starting and ending page numbers with a "-"sign in the middle. For example, if you want to print everything from page 6 to page 8, just enter "6-8".
If you want to print the contents of discontinuous pages, just enter the target page numbers in turn and make sure that each page number is separated by commas. For example, to print 1, 3, 5 and 7 pages, just enter 1, 3, 5 and 7 in Page Range. Of course, you can also specify continuous pages and discontinuous pages at the same time to realize real arbitrary printing. For example, if you want to print all the contents from the first page to the third page continuously, and print the contents of the fifth page and the seventh page at the same time, you can enter the page number "1-3,5,7".
When printing discontinuous pages, you can also have a special choice, namely "odd pages" and "even pages" printing. Click the "odd pages" option in the "print" list box to print all discontinuous pages with odd pages in the Word document. If you select Even Pages, the contents of all even pages in the Word document will be printed. When the printer does not have a duplex printing unit, you can use this function for manual duplex printing.
"Type" a specific chapter
In addition to printing specific whole pages, WordXP also supports printing specific chapters, including printing continuous chapters and discontinuous chapters. For example, if you want to print the specified section, just enter "sn" (where n is the specific section number) in the Page Number Range. For example, if you want to print all the contents of the second part, just enter "s2". If you can print the specified page of a specific section, you can enter "pmsn" (where m is the specified page number of a specific section). For example, if you want to print the contents of the first page to the third page of the second section, you can enter "p 1s2-p3s2". Of course, you can also print continuous pages that span multiple parts. For example, when you want to print everything from the fifth page of the first section to the second page of the third section, just enter "p5s 1-p2s3" (where "p5s 1" represents the page number and section number of the start page, "p2s3" represents the page number and section number of the end page with "-"in the middle.
"Hit" a specific area
If the content to be printed is not on a specific page or section, but across a specific page or section, how can it be printed? In fact, it is very simple, as long as you select these specific contents with the mouse in advance, and then select "Selected Contents" in the print settings box.
Set margins skillfully and print folded pages.
The so-called "folding" effect is to print two pages in a row on a piece of paper, and then when the paper is folded, it can be opened like a book.
To achieve this printing effect, first you need to install a program with a version above Word2002, then click File and Page Setup in the Word editing interface, and then select the Margins tab to open the window as shown in Figure 2.
In the multi-page drop-down list in this window, select book folding and click OK, and the Word program will automatically set the document printing direction to landscape.
When you print a manuscript formally, if your printer supports double-sided printing, you can automatically print on both sides of the printing paper separately; If your printer does not support double-sided printing, you must also select "Manual Double-sided Printing" in the interface shown in Figure 3, so that once the printer finishes printing one side, it will automatically prompt you to put the other side of the printing paper away and then print on the other side.
Clever scaling and "slimming" printing
What if the printer you are using is A4 format, but the Word document you need to print is A3 format? In fact, you can print the A3 format in A4 format printer, and you can keep the original format. To achieve this goal, you only need to use the print zoom function. The following are the specific steps of "slimming" printing:
In the Word editing interface, click File and then Print. In the open print attribute setting box, click the drop-down button of the zoom by paper type setting item, and select the printing paper type you need from the pop-up drop-down list, such as A3, A4, A5, 16 on, 32 on, etc. By default, the printer is selected as scaleless.
After setting the paper type of the ruler, click OK, and the Word program will automatically "slim down" the manuscript according to the specified paper type to ensure that the manuscript content can adapt to your desired format.
Of course, all the pages in the Word manuscript can also be displayed on a piece of printing paper by skillfully using the zoom function. For example, if you select the "Version 6" option in the "Version per Page" drop-down list (as shown in Figure 4), the printer can display 6 pages of Word documents on a printing paper at a time; If the 16 version is selected, the printer can display all the contents of 16 pages on a piece of paper at most. Of course, the contents of each page are reduced.
Using this printing method can not only effectively save printing paper, but also facilitate you to analyze the structure of the whole Word manuscript in all directions.
Preview the status, or "play" to edit.
Every time you finish editing a Word manuscript, I believe you will click the "Print Preview" command in the toolbar to see if the printing effect of the manuscript is satisfactory. Once typos or other errors are found in some areas, will you close the print preview window first, and then return to the Word editing interface to modify the wrong text or content? In fact, you don't have to go back to the editing state to correct the error. In the print preview state, you can also directly correct typos.
Open the Word editing interface, click the print preview button in the toolbar, and the screen will switch to print preview mode. At this point, the mouse pointer shape is a magnifying glass icon.
Then click the "Magnifier" button in the toolbar of the preview interface, and the shape of the mouse pointer will return to the "I" shape (as shown in Figure 5). At this time, the screen will enter the editing state of preview mode, and you can move the mouse pointer to the position to be edited, and complete the content adjustment of the local area according to the conventional method.
After editing the content, click the "Magnifier" button in the toolbar of the preview interface, the mouse pointer will turn into a magnifying glass icon, and the screen will enter the preview mode again. When the preview effect is satisfactory, you can click the "Close" button in the preview window to exit the print preview mode of the document and then print it formally.
Direct drag and drop, "lightning" printing
Maybe when you print a Word document, you often do it step by step. For example, first open the Word application interface, then execute the File and open commands in turn to bring out the target document, and then click the Print command under the File menu item to send the target document to the printer for printing, and then close the Word application interface after printing. Obviously, every time you print a Word document, you have to go through so many steps, which will not only be troublesome, but also affect the printing efficiency. In fact, you can omit some intermediate operations and drag and drop the target manuscript directly to the printer for "lightning" printing.
Open the System Explorer window, find one or more target documents, right-click them, and then click Print Options on the shortcut menu. In this way, the system will automatically open the Word application and send the contents of the target document directly to the printer. Once the document is printed, the Word program will automatically close. Obviously, this method is much more convenient than conventional printing.
Avoid reality and be empty, and skillfully "play" preview.
As we all know, in a computer without a printer, it is impossible to preview the printing effect of Word documents. Whenever you click the print preview button, you will always get a prompt similar to "The printer is not installed …". Is it really impossible for us to preview the printing effect in a computer without a printer? In fact, as long as you avoid reality, you can achieve your goal by installing a virtual printer on your computer.
Double-click the Add Printer icon in the printer window. In the installation wizard window that opens, first select "Local Printer", then select one from the list of manufacturers and printers (the best choice is a printer that you may use in the future, similar or the same model), and then select "I want to set this printer as the default printer for Windows system applications", while keeping "Port Settings" as the default value.
Finally, when the wizard window prompts you "Do you want to print the test page?" , please select No (as shown in Figure 6), and then click Finish. After that, the system will automatically copy the drive. Once the new printer icon appears in the printer window, it means that the virtual printer has been installed. At this point, click the Print Preview command again to see if you can preview the print effect.
