How I can print "selected area on a page" in Pages?

How I can print "selected area on a page" in Pages?


I found some answers from a while back. I'm hoping Apple improved on the previous answer.\

I suspect the 'previous answer' was similar to the current answer:


With the Pages document open to the page containing the area to be selected:

  • Pace the pointer at the top left of the ara you want to print.
  • Press shift-control-command-4

The pointer will change to a cross-hair icon.

  • Drag the icon down and right to create a selection rectangle enclosing the part of the page you want to print,
  • Release the mouse button to take a screen shot of the selected area.

The Mac will place the image of th selected part of the screen on the Clipboard.

  • Launch Preview.
  • In Preview's File menu, choose New from Clipboa
  • Preview will open a new document containing only the 'selected area' included in the screen shot.

Barry


PS: If you omit 'control' from the keystroke combination above, the screenshot will be saved as a .pdf file in your Desktop folder. The file's name will be 'screen shot' followed by the date and time the screenshot was taken, and with a .pdf extension.


The file caan be opened in Preview, or inserted in a new pages docuemnt for printing.
