stated and I agree, I use Print Preview but only about 20% of the time (maybe
less); the other 80% I am not concerned with how the content will appear printed
or I already know. The key, however, is that when I want to print preview
I am interested in the details that really cannot be obtained from a thumbnail representation
of the content. Example 1; I want to know what rows/columns of my
spreadsheet will fit on a page and will I be able to read the content once
printed. Example 2; I want to place an image at a specific place on the
print page. The point is I will need to see the print content at full
scale (as rendered to the screen resolution as a representation of the print
resolution).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
