Word Tip: Printing without Graphics

Graphics, whether clip art or charts, can liven up a report and make the information easier to understand. If you like to print your documents to proof them, you may not always want to use the ink necessary to print your graphics. The default print settings will print everything in your Microsoft Word document — words and graphics.  A simple change in your settings will allow you to print just the words.

  • Click the OFFICE button in the top left corner
  • Choose WORD OPTIONS at the bottom right corner
