Desktop printing is useful when you have a number of documents
to print at once, or when you have a document that is already
formatted for printing on a particular printer. There are two
methods to print documents from the desktop. To perform desktop
printing, either:

• Drag the icons of the documents you want to print to the desktop

icon of the printer you want to use.

OR

• Select the icons of the documents you want to print, then choose

Print

from the

File

menu. When the

Print

dialog box appears,

select your print options, then click the

Print

button.
