• Various page size options may be available for different publication types.
• The orientation option allows you to print vertically (portrait) or horizontally (landscape).

• There are several options available on the Print Preview toolbar:
  • Page up or Page down for multi-page documents.
  • View multiple pages at once using the multiple pages icon. Drag to select how many pages you want to view at once.

  • Use the color/grayscale icon to see how your document would look without color.
  • Click Close to return to your document.
