Coming Attractions for the PC? Well, kinda. Before you hit that print button, you better make sure you know what that document is gonna look like. For this reason, I always suggest using the 'Print Preview' option whenever it's available. This may save you more than a few sheets of paper; your time, sanity, and resources will not be wasted. The editing environment may give you the option of seeing the document in a true formatted (WYSIWYG) fashion, but it never hurts to go through that extra previewing step. This applies to printing images as well; you may wish to scale (resize) or modify the position of the graphic before it's sent to the printer. This may also be a good time for you to choose the paper orientation -- landscape (long) or portrait (tall)?
