Use Printing Options

Getting there

1. Most programs offer printing options when you use the commands "File, print"
    A window will open offering many opportunities.

2. Generally, you can choose the number of copies and what part of your document you would like to print.

3. Other options are available under "file, page setup"
        These options include such things as margins.
        (Remember that margins are measured as the free space between the printing and the edge of the page.)

4. Also included is usually a button called something like "options"
    This button will take you to a window that will at the very least offer you the opportunity to choose orientation.  Orientation is one of two types:
                Portrait -paper taller than wide
                Landscape -paper wider than tall

Exercise #1

Open your word processor and open a document of some type (there should be one somewhere on the computer).  Try to find the printing options.  Try printing the printing the document a couple of different ways.  When the document comes out the way you expect it to, you have completed this exercise!
