Quick Print

There may be times when you want to print something with a single click using Quick Print. This feature prints the document using the default settings and the default printer. To use this feature in Word 2010, you'll need to add it to the Quick Access toolbar.

Quick Print always prints the entire document, so if you only want to print part of your document you'll have to use the Print pane.

To access the Quick Print button:

1. Click the drop-down arrow on the right side of the Quick Access toolbar.
2. Select Quick Print if it is not already checked.
   
3. To print, click the Quick Print command.
