Preview a Draft Before Printing

Use Print Preview to see a draft version of the current view or sheet before printing it.

Note: Print Preview is not available if you are printing multiple sheets or views.
  1. To see a print preview, click File tab Print (Print Preview).
    Note: If the print job is of substantial size, the status bar displays a Cancel button. The file size necessary to trigger this option depends on system speed and amount of memory.
  2. To print the view or sheet, click Print, complete the Print dialog, and click OK. Or to exit the print preview without printing, click Close.
