5: Layout and Printing

Overview

When it comes time to make your presentation, you will need to be able to print your worksheets. You need to ensure that all your information fits on one page or that the page breaks make sense, ensure that there is a title (or header) on the pages, as well as make other adjustments as necessary. One way to be environmentally friendly is to avoid wasting paper. To do this, you need to be aware of how to preview your documents before you print. Not only will you print exactly what you want the first time, but you will also save time and energy by not waiting for print jobs to finish.

In this section, you will

• • preview before you print

  • set print options (portrait or landscape, etc.)

  • set margins

  • format headers and footers

  • modify the worksheet (gridlines, page order, print area, etc.)

  • print

To successfully complete this training room, read and watch instructional videos of topics above.
