• • • • • • • • • • • What’s in Word Just to recap, the current Word Print pane has these options. They are similar in Excel and PowerPoint. While the look of the Print Pane has changed in recent versions, the features available remain much the same. • Print which pages? • Print one-sided or double-sided (manually if your printer doesn’t do it automatically) • Collation • Portrait or Landscape • Paper Size • Margins • More than one page per sheet Rescale paper size Buried in the Word options is a useful trick for anyone who has dealings across the world’s Metric vs Imperial divide.

Scale to Paper Size Use this to print a document onto paper that doesn’t match the document page size. It saves you reformatting a document to match the paper size.

If you receive a document in A4 (Metric) but only have Letter or Legal paper in your printer. Use ‘Scale to Paper Size’ to print to the paper you have without changing the Word document settings. The size differences between A4 and Letter paper are relatively small so the scaling is hardly noticeable. A5 paper (half an A4 page) is also available. It’s possible to print an A4 document onto paper half the size. As you can see above, there are also options for rescaling envelopes.

See what your printer can do The next trick is to see what your printer can do. On the Print pane click on Printer Properties. If you’ve only installed the default Windows print drivers, there won’t be a lot more to choose from. Here’s a HP printer with just the standard Windows drivers installed.

You get a very ordinary set of print properties. There’s nothing on these dialogs you can’t do from Word itself. The printer maker will have better software and drivers than the basic one supplied by Microsoft. Go to the printer makers web site (no other) and download the software/drivers for your printer. Install it then return to Printer Properties to see what’s now available. Look on the tabs for anything that might be useful for you. The options available vary between printer makers and model of printer.

We couldn’t possibly cover all the variations out there. Here’s a guide to the options that are usually available in modern printer software. Here’s just one page from the HP software for one printer. Some of the options commonly available in printer drivers: Economy mode – uses less ink/toner Greyscale – print color documents with black ink only. Save on the expensive color ink/toner.

Booklet printing Some are also available in Word, but not perhaps in other software: Watermarks Multiple Pages per sheet Scale to fit paper size Quite often, the printer options include the ability to save a collection of settings. HP calls them ‘Quick Sets’. Acrobat Reader for Windows & Mac Adobe Acrobat Reader has some great printing options from PDF files like multiple pages, booklet and poster printing.

Any printed output from any program (not just Office) can be turned into a PDF file. From there just open the PDF in Acrobat Reader to make use of the nifty printing options. In recent versions of Office there’s a ‘Save As.’ option to PDF. If you’re using other software or earlier Office, look for a ‘Print to PDF’ option available or you can install on your computer. Adobe Acrobat Reader is available free from for both Windows and Macintosh.

Our Office for Mac readers will be delighted to know that the Acrobat printing options we mention in this article apply to both Windows and Mac versions. Saving money on ink/toner The extended printer properties should have some options for reducing the amount of ink/toner required. Quite often these ‘economy’ modes output perfectly nice looking pages, Many people use the Economy/Ink Saving setting all the time. Of course, the printer companies want to sell you more ink/toner so economy or saver modes are turned off by default. Find the option in your printer settings and see if the pages look OK for your needs. No Color Color ink/toner is a lot more expensive than the black cartridges.

For most drafts or in-house use, a ‘black and white’ version of a color document is enough. Happily, most printer software includes a ‘no color’ ‘Print all text as black’ or ‘grayscale’ option that will print using only the black ink or toner. Office itself doesn’t have any economy or black ink only options. If your printer software doesn’t have an economy option, Adobe Acrobat Reader for PDF’s has two ink/toner saving options. ‘Print in grayscale’ and ‘Save ink/toner’. Double-sided printing Printing on both sides of a page was once a tedious and difficult task – unless you’re lucky enough to have a fancy printer that did it all for you. These days, Office has a ‘Manually Print on Both Sides’ option that will handle it for you.
