Hi,
Thanks for using JustAnswer.

The simplest way to view the number of pages it takes to print and how it look like when printed is by using PRINT PREVIEW option if it is available.

Please open the document and DO PAGE SETTINGS to LANDSCAPE and also SET the PAPER SIZE to LEGAL.



Also make sure no text is missing, etc using PRINT PREVIEW option.

While taking PRINT OUT also SET THE PRINTER PREFERENCES accordingly so that printout comes properly.. Print only few pages first and confirm THEN only print remaining pages.

I have a WORKAROUND and a VERY USEFUL utility for you.. a VIRTUAL PRINTER.

A VIRUTAL PRINTER which can help print contents in PDF files and send to others or take printouts later after you are satisfied all things are OK.

Follow the simple instructions while installing the software and you can SEE a VIRTUAL printer in your PRINTERS window and the printout would be saved in PDF file.

Make sure the PDF file looks good and is as expected in terms of layout, formatting,etc. You can make any number of Virtual Printouts like this..

Once you are satisfied, from PDF file you can take a couple of pages printout, if that comes up fine, you can be on a roll and take print out of entire thing or even in pieces as well.

Also you can use the virtual printer in your day to day activties... Me, my friends use it regularly.

Hope this helps..

Feel free to let me know if you have any further queries.

If you are satisfied with the information i provided, please ACCEPT the answer so that i get paid for my efforts.

All the best..
