Nisus Writer Express User Guide

Determine aspects of how your document prints

When you print your document you have a variety of options available in the Nisus Writer Express portion of the Print Dialog.

☞ The pop-up menu that reveals the Nisus Writer Express portion of the Print dialog has no name.

► Choose Nisus Writer Express from the pop-up menu inside the Print dialog beneath where you see Copies and Pages.

Print page guides & “invisibles”

You may want to print and examine some of the non-textual details of the document.

• Print page guides in the Nisus Writer Express portion of the Print dialog to print the lines that define the perimeter of your printed area and the headers and/or footers as explained on page 375.

• Print invisible characters in the Nisus Writer Express portion of the Print dialog to print the “invisible” characters as explained on page 372.

While the Appearance Preferences allow you to control the color of table guides as well as page guides and invisibles, these (table guides) do not print.

Print pages in reverse order

Some printers print documents so that the printed side appears up. In other printers the document comes out of the printer so that the printed side appears down. Because Nisus Writer Express prints your document from first page to last, printed side down means that when you pick up your stack of printed pages they appear in the correct sequence. If the pages of your document emerge from the printer with the printed side up, the first page of your document will be at the bottom of the pile.

► Check Print pages in reverse order in the Nisus Writer Express portion of the Print dialog.

Print odd pages, then even pages

You may want to print your document on both sides of a piece of paper. Make sure your margins are correct by following the instructions in “Mirror page placement” on page 164. Make sure your margins appear as you want them as explained in “Set the margins of the sections of your document” on page 161.
