Previewing pages before printing
The normal page view in Writer shows you what each page will look like when
printed and you can edit the pages in that view. If you are designing a document to be
printed double-sided, you may want to see what facing pages look like. Writer
provides two ways to do this:
• View Layout (editable view): use the Facing Pages (Book Preview) button on
the status bar.
• Page Preview (read-only view).
To use Page Preview:
1) Choose File > Page Preview (or click the Page Preview button on the
Standard toolbar).
Writer now displays the Page Preview toolbar instead of the Formatting
toolbar.

3) To print the document from this view, click the Print document icon( ) to
open the Print dialog box.
