Print Preview Dialog

The print preview shows a close approximation of the printed result. To open it, choose File > Print Preview or click Print Preview… in the Page Setup dialog. The preview fits the page to the window until you zoom, and the status line shows the current page and the page count.

There may be minor differences in color and quality between the printed copy and the preview on your screen. To learn more about such differences and ways to minimize them, see Printing a Comparison.
