When you choose Preview, WorldServer
passes the document to the browser for display. For example, an HTML
document is displayed as a user would see it in its final form; a
PDF document is displayed through the browser in Adobe Reader; and
XML code is run through a "pretty printer."
Microsoft Office files open as plug-ins inside Internet Explorer.
Normally, the plug-in displays a standard toolbar, and this toolbar
has a print button. If the Standard toolbar is not shown, you can
right-click on any existing toolbar and enable the Standard toolbar.
If no toolbars are shown to right-click on, you can switch between
document layouts (via small buttons in the bottom left corner of
the plug-in). When you switch between toolbars, Microsoft Word enables
some toolbars and you can get the rest by right-clicking on existing
ones, until you find one that you can use to print.
Note: Firefox
browsers behave differently from Internet Explorer. To print a simple
text file or an HTML file (or any file that is opened in a Firefox
frame which has no toolbar) do the following:
- After the file is opened in a frame, right-click anywhere on the
page and select .
- The file will be reopened in a new browser window that has a toolbar.
- Now users can print the opened file through (or by
adding the printer icon to the toolbar and then using it directly
from the toolbar).
If the browser cannot display a particular data format, you will
be prompted to download the file. When the file is on your computer,
you can open it with the appropriate program.
