Setting Up Your Printer

Summary: Word allows you to take full advantage of the capabilities of your printer. Accessing those capabilities is done through the Print dialog box, as described in this tip. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)

You can change the settings Word uses when printing through your printer in the following manner:

  1. Choose Print from the File menu or, in Word 2007, click the Office button and then click Print. Word displays the Print dialog box.
  2. Using the Name drop-down list, select the printer you want to use. (It is common to have more than one printer available if you are working in a networked environment.)
  3. Click on the Properties button. Word displays the Properties dialog box for the printer you selected in step 2. The exact appearance of the dialog box, and the controls it contains, depends on the printer driver you have installed for your printer.
  4. Using the tabs and other controls in the dialog box, specify the printer settings you want to use.
  5. Click on OK to close the Properties dialog box.
  6. Click on OK from the Print dialog box. Your document will be printed.

Tip #1713 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003 | 2007
