Hello, friends. Today a small article about printing in Microsoft Word. The topic is simple, but I still periodically get questions about how and what to do right. Therefore, today we analyze all aspects of sending documents for printing.

Sheet preset

More recently, I told you that before printing, you need to set up the sheet and check the layout of the text. If you haven't read it, you can briefly describe it like this.

Preview the text for comments on the structure
Select sheet size
Check sheet orientation
Number lines
Arrange text in columns
Customize fields
Insert headers and footers
Customize paragraphs
Allow or disable word wrapping
Check the removal of "hanging" lines"
Insert page and section breaks
Check the results of what has been done

If not all the items on this list are clear to you, read the article with detailed description. Here .

How to send a Word document for printing

Now about how to print your Word file. There are two ways: simple and very simple. To use a very simple method– press the Quick Print button on the Quick Access Toolbar. It will print with the default settings for your printer. Often this is enough, in one click you get a printed document.

Another method provides presetting print options. Call the Print window in one of the ways: click Ctrl + P or File - Print.

The print settings window will open, in which the following settings are made (from top to bottom):

When all the settings are done - click Print and meet the document from the printer. It's that simple. I think I have answered many of your questions. And if not all - ask questions in the comments, we will answer.

I plan to devote the next article to diagrams. First we are using Excel spreadsheets, and then we will improve it appearance. Join, it will be useful and interesting. See you soon!

Faced with such a task that my sister set before me, at first I was even surprised, is it really impossible to print even odd pages separately when printing in Excel? Word can do this for sure:

But Excel really does not! There is no such option in the print panel:

One of the easiest ways to solve this problem in my opinion is the following:

We install a special add-on for the Microsoft Office 2007 package, which can be downloaded from the official Microsoft website at this link. The executable file size is less than 1 MB.

After installation, open the Excel spreadsheet you want to print and save "Save As" by selecting "File Type" - PDF

Look at the resulting file, sometimes some numbers do not fit in the cells, and although you see them normally in Excel, in PDF they can be replaced by ##### icons. If this happens, open the Excel workbook again and slightly increase the width of the column in which you have problems and re-save the file;

We open the received file with the standard Adobe PDF Reader, which can be downloaded for free on the official Adobe website at this link;

We print by selecting even or odd pages.

The ability to save to a PDF file will appear in all Microsoft Office applications.

When do you need to print odd/even pages? For example, if two-sided printing is required on each sheet. First, you print all the odd pages, then turn over the stack of printed sheets, reinsert it into the printer, and print all the even ones. Thus, each sheet is used on both sides - saving paper by 2 times.

There are other ways to solve the problem, some printers allow you to change their settings as required, but in my opinion this method is simple, free and completely licensed.

Although this Brother machine does not support automatic duplex printing (printing on both sides of paper automatically), you can print on both sides of paper manually.

If your Brother machine is connected to a PC, you must select to print on odd and even pages in the printer driver. See METHOD A: USING A PC TO PRINT ON BOTH SIDES
If your Brother machine is connected to a Macintosh, you must select the Print Odd Pages and Print Even Pages options in the Print window of the application you are printing from. See METHOD B: USING Macintosh TO PRINT ON BOTH SIDES

For example, if you use a PC and want to print a 10-page file on 5 sheets, you must first set the printer driver to print all odd pages in reverse order (9, 7, 5, 3, 1), print the odd pages, reload the printed pages in Brother machine, set the printer driver to print all even pages in normal order (2, 4, 6, 8, 10), and then print all even pages.

METHOD A: USING A PC TO PRINT ON BOTH SIDES
To print on both sides of paper from a PC, follow the steps below:

METHOD B: USING Macintosh TO PRINT ON BOTH SIDES
To print on both sides of paper from a Macintosh, follow the steps below:

TIPS FOR PRINTING ON BOTH SIDES OF PAPER:

If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
If the paper is curled, straighten it and put it back in the paper tray.
If the paper is not fed correctly, it may start to curl. Remove the paper from the tray, straighten it, and reload it in the paper tray.

Many inexperienced PC users may encounter a problem - how to print a pdf. We will try to explain how to properly print a document and select the necessary settings that will be useful to each user.

PDF print options

First, you need to decide on the print settings: the choice of paper size, page numbers for printing, and other standard printing settings. To do this, select "File" > "Print". This will open a window with print options. At the top of the settings window, select the printer that will be used for printing.

Further in this window, you can specify the page numbers that need to be printed, this may be necessary if only part of the document is needed. If printing was interrupted so as not to print the entire document from the beginning, the interval of pages to be printed is indicated. This is done using the "-" sign, for example: 10-58. You can also print random pages. In this case, page numbers are written using the "," sign.

Print PDF

When printing the entire document, "all" is automatically selected in the settings. If you need to print an image, then first use the "Snapshot" tool - select the necessary fragment on the page, and then select "File" > "Print". In the print options, criteria such as "only even" and "only odd" are possible.

When one of the criteria is selected, printing will be performed through the sheet, that is: even pages - 2,4,6,8 and so on, odd pages - 1,3,5,7. If you select the criterion - "in reverse order", the printer will print the document from its last page. The print settings also make it possible to print on both sides of the sheet, make it a booklet or a poster. To do this, check the box next to the appropriate printing method.

Having decided how to print a pdf document, you must click the "Print" button and get a printed document.

Before printing, you can preview your document and specify which pages you want to print.

Printing on Both Sides of Paper (Duplex Printing)

Duplex printing is easiest to do with a printer that supports duplexing. Typically, you can check the printer's documentation or view its properties to determine whether a printer supports two-sided printing. Some printers allow you to automatically print on both sides of a sheet of paper (automatic duplex printing). Other printers provide instructions on how to turn the pages manually to print text on the back of the paper (manual duplex printing). Some printers do not support duplex printing at all.

Advice: If the printer supports duplex printing and is having problems, the pop-up menu Copies and pages select item Layout. Then in the popup menu Two sides uncheck Disabled.

If the printer does not support automatic two-sided printing, you can print on both sides of the paper manually as follows.

On the menu File select item Seal.

Popup menu Printer select the desired printer.

Popup menu Copies and pages select item Microsoft Word.

Select an item Only odd pages.

After the odd pages have printed, turn over the stack of pages, reload them in the printer, repeat steps 1 to 3, and then select Only even pages.

Depending on your printer model, you may need to turn the stack over and reorder the pages to print on the back of the stack.
