A book just isn't complete without page numbers! In a digital document, the dedicated space at the very bottom of every page is called a Footer—the perfect spot to put those numbers automatically.

Getting Ready to Print

Print Preview, Soft Copy vs Hard Copy.

Before you turn your digital work into a physical paper, it is smart to check how it looks. Using the File → Print Preview tool shows you exactly how the document will appear on the page before you waste any ink or paper.

Hard Copy vs. Soft Copy

  • Soft Copy: A document in digital form. You view it on a monitor or save it on a storage device like a hard drive.
  • Hard Copy: The physical report printed on paper.
