Printing Tips

Printing color pages in black & white

When you have a page saved with color graphics or even colored letters, you can print the document with the black cartridge by selecting, Print, Options, and then checking "print document graphically". The document will use the black cartridge and print in black and white

Booklet Printing

Eliminate the prompt "Reinsert page" when printing booklets by inserting a duplex printing code in your document. Place the insertion point at the top of the booklet document and choose Format/Layout, Page, Page Setup, (click on the Layout tab). In the Binding section, choose where you want the binding to be set at, then choose OK

Print In Reverse with one button

Have your document print in reverse order with just one click of a button. Here's how:

Click on Tools, Macro, Record

Type revprnt.wcm and click on Record

With the mouse, click File, Print, Options,

Select Print In Reverse Order, click on OK, then Print

Click on Tools, Macro, Record (to stop the recording process)

Now place an icon next to your regular printer. Here's how:

Right click on the Toolbar, select Edit, click on Play A Macro, click on Add Macro. Find the file called revprnt.wcm and click on it. Press Select.

Right click on the new button and choose edit. Change the picture to something a little more appropriate.

Printing in reverse with a button (option 2)

Ever wish you could just push a button and have the document print in reverse to the paper, when it came out of the printer, would have the first page on the top? (Sure beats re-arranging them)

Here's a nice macro to help you do just that:

Start on a new document page. Click on Tools, Macro, Macro Bar, and type the following:

Application (WordPerfect; "WordPerfect"; Default; "US")
PrintAdvancedRangeData (Pages: "all"; SecondaryPages: "all"; Chapters: ""; Volumes: "")
PrintAdvancedRangeData (Pages: "all"; SecondaryPages: "all"; Chapters: ""; Volumes: "")
PrintInReverseOrder (State: True!)
Print ()

Now, click on Save & Compile (on the Macro Bar), and name the macro: revprint.wcm. Then close the document.

Next, right click on your Toolbar and press Edit. Click on the Macro's tab and press Add Macro. Locate the new macro called revprint.wcm and press Select, then press No. This will give you a new button on your Toolbar that looks like a cassette tape. Right click on the Print button on your Toolbar and click on Customize, Edit, Copy, Cancel, and Cancel again. Now right-click on the new button (the cassette button) and press Customize. This time press Edit, Clear, then Paste. Now you can change the color of the white "paper" to, say blue. Or even do some adjusting so you can have the word REV on the white "paper", (that's what I did). Anyway, after you've customized the looks of your new button, press OK on the next 2 messages.

Now you may want to move the button so it's right next to your regular print button, just click and drag it to it's new position. Then press OK on the message box.

You're done. From now on, you won't have to go through the Print dialog box to get your document printed in reverse.

Labels to print in proper position

To get labels so they are not printing to high on the label, press Ctrl+home 2 times (or reveal codes and ensure that the cursor is at the very beginning of the document).

Next, select Format, Page, Center, Current and Subsequent Page. Then choose OK

This will center each label individually since each label is considered a "page".

Print only one page of a document

How about printing just a specific page? You already have this macro :)

Just right click on the Toolbar, select Edit. Slide down until you see Print Page. Click once and drag it onto the Toolbar. I recommend you place the button right next to your regular Print button.

Now all you have to do is press the button for Print Page in order to just print the page your cursor is presently on. You don't have to go to the Print dialog box change from Full Document to Current Page, and then click OK. Now it's just one click from your Toolbar
