GODDAMMIT

Will somebody PLEASE help me out?

I'm using Word 2007 - WHICH I FUCKING HATE - and I'm having a problem to which I can't find a solution.

My printer is running out of color ink. I almost never print in color anymore because first, I don't have any color stuff I want to print and second, ink is too fucking expensive.

Here's my problem. Word 2003 used to have the print button and also a print button that led you to an optional dialog box where you could choose print options. I want to tell the program to print in grayscale. BUT I CAN'T FIND THE FUCKING OPTION TO DO THIS.

The alternate print icon is NOWHERE on the command line options. It's NOWHERE in the options of commands you can add to the menus. It's NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

Does anyone know how I can tell the STUPID GODDAMN VERSION not to print in color?

GODDAMN MICROSOFT AND THEIR CURSED PISSY IMPULSE TO "IMPROVE" EVERYTHING.

Shit, I'm sorry! I use a Mac now, so I can't even experiment on my computer for you. I hope someone can help, though. I know how frustrating that has to be...

If you choose print and then print properties it gives you the option to print in gray scale. Works for me, i have the same problem.

See, there's my problem. When I choose print, it just prints. No dialog box shows up at all. And I can't find an icon that offers more options.

Use the menu on the left. The colored circle thing.Click on that and it should give you an option to print but also brings the print window up to change options.

THANK YOU I don't think I'd ever have found that on my own.

See, that's what I mean by Microsoft insisting on pissing things up. What is the point of HIDING all the most basic functions? How can this possibly be better than the simple menu bar the program used to have?

I swear I could go over there and STRANGLE every one of those guys. They should play mumbledy-peg when they get bored and stop making things hard on their frigging users.

Ha. Yeah I know. I have to use it every day. Been very frustrating. :)
