Mulongo oyo etiyamaki na archive. Tuna motuna mosusu soki osengeli na lisalisi

It seems that the 'print selection' feature is greyed out from the print preview menu. Print 'selection' (as opposed to page) is available from the normal File>'Print' menu but not available from File>'Print Prview' menu.

Print 'selection' (as opposed to page) is available from the normal File>'Print' menu but not available from File>'Print Preview' menu. I'm thinking that this is a bug that will be noticed and fixed eventually but I rely on it heavily and I am trying to switch over from Internet Explorer so I thought I'd mention it to (hopefully) get it noticed more quickly. I tried to report it as Feedback but could not access feedback even though I am using latest version of Firefox (not sure what's going on there, either)..

You can't preview the print out of a selection.
You can only preview the full print out.
You can print the selection to a file or to PDF if you want to check it out first.

Thanks, but that is not really a very viable 'work-around.' I understand that I "can't preview the print out of a selection." So , my point was that I would like to be able to do such (hopefully in upcoming versions). This is routinely done in Internet Explorer and I would like to think that I can use Firefox to completely replace my use of IE. But thanks again for the reply.
