When the information is for someone else, you might want to print it. But more and more, people would prefer it in electronic form (as an email attachment or on a disk or CD) since it is smaller and easier to store and more importantly easier to locate and search later on. If you really MUST print follow the appropriate rules below. Every piece of paper that you give someone should have your name, the date and the topic (usually in a header.)Put Print Preview on your quick Access bar by right clicking on Print
Preview from the pop-out menu of Print.

| PowerPoint is really NOT meant to be printed, but
when you give a talk people like "walk away material" so they don't feel

Never print slides (waste of paper). Always print Handouts.Use Print Preview screen to adjust what and how you print. Options button lets you add/change the header as well as the color scheme. PowerPoint 2007 PowerPoint 2003 |

With Excel it is of critical importance that you preview your sheet prior to printing it!Look on the bottom left of

Preview:

boy will you be embarrassed!
