Edit a Word document in Print Preview

Print Preview lets you view a document as it will appear in printed form. You can see all the formatting, columns, pictures, header, footer — everything. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could make changes right there in Print Preview?

Well, you can, but how you do so, isn’t obvious. Click the Magnifier icon on the Print Preview toolbar to disable that tool. In Word 2007, uncheck Magnifier in the Preview group on the Print Preview toolbar. When you do so, the insertion point reverts to the I-beam you’re used to working with in Normal view. Edit away!
