Shrink to Fit
"Charles W Davis" <Anthemwebs[ at ]lvcoxmail.com> 11/21/2008 9:31:20 PM
I am using Office Word 2007 on a Windows Vista Ultimate system.

When I select Print Preview and choose Shrink to Fit, does the original
document shrink, or only the print format?

Just the printout. The original document is never altered by printing.

But the Shrink to Fit icon in Print Preview does actually shrink the font
sizes to accommodate the text on one page. Scaling (in the Print dialog)
affects only printing.

I believe the OP asked if the original document is shrunk, which it is
not.

But it is. When you use the Shrink to Fit button in Print Preview, the
document itself is changed.

I suppose that one should save the document, shrink to fit, print and then
close the document and not save the changes. That's a question.

That would work as long as you remember not to save!
