1.

Request a Page Preview

Select the

Page Preview option from the

File menu. Calc shows you the current sheet. A

Page Preview toolbar opens, offering one-click access to common previewing tasks such as zooming in or out, viewing the

Page Style dialog box, and closing this view. If you want to print a different sheet, you need to click that sheet name before selecting

File, Page Preview . It's easy to forget that a spreadsheet can have multiple sheets. When one does, you'll preview (and print) each sheet individually.

2.

Review a Sample of the Printed Document

Look over the preview of the sheet to see if it appears to be properly formatted. Click the

Zoom In or

Zoom Out button to increase or decrease the preview.

3.

Close the Preview

Once you've previewed what your sheet will look like printed, click the

Close Preview button on the Page Preview toolbar. If you need to make further edits to your sheet, do so now.

4.

Prepare to Print

Once you're satisfied that the sheet is ready to print, select the

Print option from the

File menu. The

Print dialog box appears.

TIP

To print immediately, click the

Print button on the

Standard toolbar. Calc does not open the

Print dialog box but instead prints the document immediately using the current default print settings.

5.

Select a Printer

Select the printer you want to print to using the

Name drop-down list.

TIP

If you have a fax modem, you can select your fax from the

Name list to send your document to a fax recipient.

6.

Adjust the Properties

If you want to adjust any printer settings, click the

Properties button. The dialog box that appears when you click

Properties varies from printer to printer. Close the printer's

Properties dialog box once you've made any needed changes.

7.

Determine What to Print

Click to select either

All or

Pages to designate that you want to print the entire sheet or only a portion of it. If you clicked

Pages , type the page number or a range of page numbers (such as

2-5 or

1-10, 15-25 ) that you want to print.

8.

Determine the Number of Copies to Print

Click the arrow button next to the

Number of Copies option to determine how many copies you want to print.

9.

Adjust the Print Options

Click the

Options button to display the

Printer Options dialog box. From the

Printer Options dialog box, you can adjust several print settings, such as whether you want graphics, tables, and drawings printed or omitted from the printed sheet.

NOTE

Although it's called the

Printer Options dialog box, this dialog box is not printer specific but rather controls the way your document appears when printed. If, for instance, you want to print for a binder, you can click to select the

Left pages and

Right pages options to leave an extra middle margin on every other printed page.

Click the

OK button to close the

Printer Options dialog box.

10.

Start Printing

Once you've determined how many pages and copies to print, click the

OK button to print your sheet and close the

Print dialog box.
