Word 2010 - Print Preview Magnifier
The shortcut goes to Print Preview and Print (the new command). But as I
state further down I did some more research and the old command is there. I use it to update fields also. Janine "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... Surely, the Print Preview shortcut must be available even in Word 2010. Personally I don't use the button, but I do use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+F2). Very useful, for example when you want to update certain fields. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Okay, I'm seeing this now, but I sure hope that Print Preview can still be added to the QAT in Word 2010 because I use it very frequently and do not want to have to go through File | Print to get to it. Moreover, the Print Preview in FSR doesn't have the "Shrink One Page" button that many people ask about -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... Thanks for confirming this. By the way, note that the mentioned options in Full Screen Reading view are also available in Word 2007. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ... Suzanne, please accept that Janine is correct. With very little fanfare, the devs completely redesigned this part of Word. The Print Preview -- which appears when you click File Print whether you want it or not -- is zoomable but not editable. However, when you go to FSR, there's a View Options button in the top right corner that opens a menu, and that menu includes "Show One Page", "Show Two Pages", and "Show Printed Page" -- the last of these is WYSIWYG. There is also an independent toggle setting for "Allow Typing", which is the option Tammy will want. You can't do everything there -- for example, the only formatting tools are the ones on the MiniBar or applied via keyboard shortcuts -- but it's entirely adequate for last-minute corrections. As another enhancement, if you make edits in either FSR or Print Layout view, and then go to the other view, your cursor location doesn't change. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

And it would appear that FSR may have changed from Word 2007. I don't have 2010 installed, so I can't check any of this out, but FSR view was certainly not intended to be WYSIWYG; its purpose is to make a document more readable onscreen, and this means that line and page breaks may be entirely different from the printing version. I don't think Janine understands what Tammy wants, and it's going to take someone else who has 2010 installed to help Tammy, I suspect. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... But Full Screen Reading isn't necessarily a WYSIWYG view, which is supported by the help topic that you cited: "you also have the option of seeing the document as it would appear on a printed page". -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP __________________________________ "Janine" wrote in message ... No Suzanne, actually Full Screen Reading is where you Allow Typing Mode (make edits to document as Tammy has suggested wanting to do). WYSIWYG ("seeing the document as it would appear on the printed page") is what I have in Full Screen Reading view not sure why you would have a different view Suzanne. In Microsoft Office "14" programs, you now preview and print your Office files in one location - on the Print tab in the Microsoft Office Backstage view. [snip] Hope that helps Tammy. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Full Screen Reading is in no way a substitute for Print Preview. I can't imagine any reason for even using FSR, much less trying to edit in that view (given that it isn't WYSIWYG); I do my editing in Print Layout view, but some people do like to be able to immediately correct errors they spot in Print Preview. This would not be such an issue if you could close Preview and be on the page you were viewing in PP, but, unless this has changed, Word takes you back to the page where you were when you switched into Print Preview, which is not acceptable if you've PageDown'd through dozens of pages before spotting the error. The question that Tammy is asking is not about how to use the magnifier in Print Preview but about how to turn it off in order to permit editing. If there is no magnifier, then perhaps clicking in the document automatically permits editing? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Janine" wrote in message ... Suzanne, It is now in Full Screen Reading - you can Find/Allow Typing/Track Changes/Comments read superbly on the screen (the larger the better). Read one page or two pages etc. and go to Print Preview when ready to print. Print Preview is now just what it should always have been Print Preview what you see before you print (as in Printer Software). The new FULL SCREEN READING mode is where you modify the document and it is great. Let's face it if you didn't know to click the magnifying glass many users never would have. In FULL SCREEN READING mode you can see everything very clearly and select what you like. Janine "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... If editing is no longer possible in Print Preview, a lot of people are going to be unhappy. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Janine" wrote in message ... Tammy In 2010 Print Preview does just that only now. You are looking for Full Screen Reading (next icon at bottom right of screen) gives you options to edit/track/comment/highlight etc. So you really don't need Print Preview unless you really want to Print Preview - just clear the brain cells and think Full Screen Reading. I have assigned a shortcut key ReadingMode Janine "Tammy" wrote in message ... Hi - I can't find the Magnifier option when I'm in Print Preview - does anyone know where it exists in Word 2010? Please don't tell me it's gone!!! Thanks for any guidance! |
