    I'm running MS 2007 and for the life of me I cannot find the printer icon that will aloow me to print a paper. I've printed many times before but I have been back and forth between so many computers lately I misplaced this function. I don't see it under the Home tab or any other for that matter.

    Thanks in advance!

    Could do the old standby, Ctrl + P.

    I had the exact same problem...spent three hours before I could figure out that the big CIRCULAR thing in the upper right hand corner was the "start" menu for MS word. When in doubt CRTL+P as mentioned before :)

    You don't have to click the round MS icon everytime you want to print your document. You can have the shortcut icon you are asking for.

    Here's what you do:

    You can add the printer icon to the small toolbar to the right of the round MS button.

    The toolbar has 3 icons by default: Save, Undo and Redo. To the right of the toolbar there's a small arrow pointing downwards. Click on that and you will be given the option to add more icons to the aforementioned toolbar - such as Print and Print Preview.

    I have attached a small screenshot of how my toolbar looks like after I have added several additional icons. If the standard list of icons/functions is not sufficient, there is an option to add even more.
