Print Options

Opens a dialog where settings for the printout of your document can be made. The pages are proportionally reduced in size. When printing multiple document pages on one printed page, the whole sheet of paper may not be printed on and a margin may remain.

The settings entered on the Print options dialog will only be activated if you print out the document using the Print page view icon.
