What Happened to Print Preview in Word 2010?

If you are a new user to Microsoft Word 2010, you may have noticed that Print Preview isn't as easy to find, as it once was.  This version of Word has a new tab labeled File.  The File tab contains Word's new Backstage View.  As you will see, there are many commands within the Backstage View, along the left side of the screen, that we use in our everyday creating, editing, formatting, and maintaining of Word documents, such as New, Open, Close, Print, and Options.

To access the Print Preview feature, follow these steps:

  • Click the File tab.
  • Click the Print command.
  • You will not only see the print options, but now you will see your document on the right side of this screen in a print preview format.  
  • Use the scroll arrows along the bottom, middle, and right portions of this screen to scroll through and view all pages of your document.  
  • To zoom in or out of your document, to view text instead of overall document format, use the zoom button along the bottom, right side of your screen.  
So as you see, Print Preview is still available in Word, it's just in a new place!
