editing in preview preview

[Sheryl]

In an older version of Word, I was able to edit a document from the Print
Preview screen but am not able to do that now in Word 2007. Is there a way
that I don't know about? Thanks!

Same way as in previous versions: turn off the Magnifier (in this case, it's
a check box rather than a button).

Thanks for your reply, but I'm afraid I still can't figure it out! In Word
2003, I would open print preview, click on some button (can't remember what
it was), then I was able to edit. I can't seem to find it this time. Thanks.

The Magnifier was the button in previous versions; now Magnifier is a check
box in the Preview group on the Print Preview tab of the Ribbon.

Do like Suzanne told you.

Go to print preview. In the ribbon, there will be four groups:

Print
Page Setup
Zoom
Preview

In the 'Preview' group, there should be a checkbox with 'Magnifier' next to
it. If that checkbox is unchecked, you should be able to edit your document.
