Printing

Show print borders

The "WINDOW" > "SHOW PRINT BORDERS" menu shows a yellow and red line around the
page (non-printing) showing the print margins and borders. The page boundary is shown
by a yellow rectangle and the printing area by a red rectangle. The printing area is
determined by the margins on the currently selected printer. Some printers let you adjust
the margins, but few let you print right up to the edge of the page.

If any objects on the page lie outside the red rectangle they are unlikely to be printed.

Selecting and setting up a printer

Select "FILE" > "PRINT" TO open the PRINT dialog box, then click the PRINTER... button.

This opens the standard Windows PRINT SETUP dialog:

Selecting a printer also selects a suitable paper size and paper orientation. Note that
these are the size and orientation of the sheets of paper used in the printer. They are
separate from the size/orientation of the document. PORTRAIT prints the page without
rotation. LANDSCAPE prints the page turned through 90° (these buttons are duplicated in
the PRINT OPTIONS dialog box, described later). We recommend leaving the
LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT buttons on this dialog box on their default setting.
