Word 2010 - Print Preview Magnifier

[Tammy]

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!

There's a slider at the bottom of the screen.

[Tammy]

Hi Pam - thanks for your response. I'm looking for the "magnifier" button
that allows you to make quick edits to your document while you are in Print
Preview. I used that feature all the time!! Thanks, again!

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

In Word 2007 there's a check box for it on the Print Preview Ribbon tab.
Does 2010 not have this?

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

If editing is no longer possible in Print Preview, a lot of people are going
to be unhappy.

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.

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

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 Print
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?

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.

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, 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.

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.

are also available in Word 2007.

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.

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.

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".

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
Print
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,

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.

If editing is no longer possible in Print Preview, a lot of people
are
going to be unhappy.

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

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!

Exactly! How often do we tell people to switch to PP to update fields?

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.

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

Yes, the Print Preview button (now called Print Preview and Print) is
in the "Popular" category in the Customize Quick Access Toolbar dialog
and in the (Hallelujah!) Customize Ribbon dialog.

To close the Print Preview, press the Esc key or any of the tabs other
than File... DO NOT click the red X in the upper right corner, as that
will close Word (there were complaints in the early betas because
there used to be a second X there to close the File menu, and lots of
people clicked the wrong one).

[Tammy]

Thanks very much, Janine! That did take a little bit to change the way I was
thinking. I have never found a use for Full Screen Reading, and turned it off
as soon as my first email attachment opened in it. Now, I see, there is no
other choice if I want to preview a document, and possibily edit it at the
same time. Not sure why this changed (maybe to justify the FSR View? JK) ,
but as long as I can still get to the tool, I'll just have to change my
"previewing" habit.

Now...what's the purpose of Print Preview?

Janine, in one of your posts you quoted from 2010 Help - where did you find
that? When I try to use Help in the Beta version, I get help topics for
2007...

Thanks to everyone else for their comments - really appreciated your input!
Kind of glad to find out that there are people who are aware of that great
editing tool when previewing docs!

Thanks, again!

 

[KRyan]

Suzanne and Tammy are right. I've been training users for years to us
Print Preview and click the Magnifier button to make quick edits befor
printing. Users will definitely have some questions about this.

For 2010, I understand what Janine is saying. For quick edits prior t
printing, I'll tell users to click Full Screen Reading View and the
choose View Options > Allow Typing. However I'm concerned this view wil
not be fully WYSIWYG.

If any of the Microsoft Word On-Line Help people happens to see thi
post, I HIGHLY suggest documenting this change somewhere. I searched th
Help for 'Print Preview' and all variations thereof, even going out t
IE and searching in Bing and Google, and never found a goo
explanation.

Thanks,
