    • Click Go to this Item to go to the page where the problem item is.
    • Click Fix:automatic fix suggestion to automatically fix the problem with the item.

      Note   The automatic fix will vary depending on the problem. In some cases, no automatic fix is available.

    • Click Never Run this Check Again to disable the check. This affects all instances of the problem.
    • Click Explain to open a help topic that more fully explains the problem and offers suggestions about how to fix it.

Visually scan your publication Although the Design Checker will identify many common layout problems, you should review your document one last time before printing. Make sure that the text and graphics appear as you want them to, and that you are satisfied with the overall look of the publication.

Make sure your printer is ready to print the publication Before you start to print, make sure that your printer has fresh ink cartridges and enough paper to completely print your publication.
