- [Instructor] Let's look at our options
for printing a document in Microsoft Word.
And this looks a little different on Mac and Windows,
so we'll start here in Windows.
And I already have a printer connected to my computer,
and it's been set up in Windows settings.
So here in Word, I can click File
near the top left corner to go to the backstage view
and I can choose Print on the left side,
or you can just use the keyboard shortcut,
Control + P, and that'll take you straight here.
If everything is already set up correctly,
you could just click the Print button and you're all set,
but you may need to check some options.
In this menu, you can choose which printer
you want to print to,
which is useful if you have more than one printer
connected to your computer.
I'm going to use this HP Printer here.
In the next menu,
you can set whether you want to print the entire document,
or you could print only the current page.
If you select that,
you want to use the arrows here in the Preview area
to find the page that you want to print,
and then you can print that.
Or you can go back to this menu
and you could choose Custom Print,
and you can select certain pages.
So I might want to print pages three, four, and six.
So I could type three, four, six.
Or if I just wanted to print all of the pages
from three through six,
I can type three dash six,
and then I could click Print,
and it would print those pages.
Next, I'll go to this menu.
And the printer I'm using supports printing
on both sides of the page.
So I can choose if I want to print only on one side
or on both.
And options like this may change
depending on the printer that you have connected.
Then below that you can change the orientation,
the size or the margins of your document
before you print it.
And there's also a menu here
where you can choose to print multiple pages
per sheet of paper.
And that can be nice if you're just trying to save paper.
And if you want to print several copies,
you can set that number up here at the top.
And then when you're ready,
you can just click Print here.
Okay. Now let's see those options on the Mac.
To get to the printing options on a Mac,
you'll need to go to the File menu
at the top of the screen,
then choose Print.
Or you can use the keyboard shortcut Command + P.
And we basically have the same options here
just arranged differently.
In this first menu,
you can choose which printer you want to print to,
if you have multiple printers connected to your computer,
you'll see them listed here.
Then there's this menu for the different types of options.
And I want to start with copies and pages,
and that's going to set the options we see
on the rest of the window.
Of course, this is where you can get a preview.
You can choose how many copies you want to print,
and then you can choose specific pages.
So if you just want to print everything,
you can leave this set to All.
Now, if you want to set this to only print the current page,
there is something different you have to do on a Mac
that you would not do on Windows.
First, what you'll need to do is cancel this,
and then scroll in your document here in the normal view,
and make sure you're looking at the page
that you want to print.
Then go back to your Printing settings.
So File, and Print.
Then when you set the current page,
it sets it to the page that you're actually looking at
in the normal view.
And I can see that preview there.
Now, the other option of course,
is to print a specific range.
So you could print maybe from page two to page four,
you can put that in.
Or if you want specific pages,
you can select Page Range,
and you could type in something like two, four, six,
if those were the pages that you wanted to print.
Now, going back into this menu,
I want to switch over to Layout,
and that's where you can print multiple pages per sheet.
Now, of course, there are other options here in this menu,
but most of them are really not used very often,
so usually I'm just sticking with copies and pages.
And of course, when you have everything all set,
you can just click the Print button.
