Then, just to be sure, you can select the Print Preview option in your

Draft
If you want to see a printed draft of your book, you can print mock-up
pages on plain paper. Just load plain paper in your printer and select
Draft Color in the print window.
You don’t have to print the entire book. You can print one page at a

page number you would like to print.
StoryTeller’s Workload
Powerful applications often push PCs to their performance limits. In
organizing and printing all of your photos in professional layouts,
StoryTeller will require a lot from your PC. Depending on the kind of
processor and amount of memory your PC has, we recommend you
close all other applications before starting StoryTeller.
Fill the Pages
StoryTeller provides a variety of page layouts for you to choose from
when organizing your photos. Depending on the layouts you select and
the size of the book, the number of photos needed can vary. So you’ll
want to be sure that you have enough photos to fill your book.
Below are the minimum number of photos needed for each layout style.

Patience is a Virtue
StoryTeller makes it easy for you to arrange and print a photo book.
But this ease comes at a small price; your colorful digital photos and
creative StoryTeller layouts end up as very large files on your computer.
This means that it might take some time for StoryTeller to finish
working on your layouts—especially if you’re using an older computer.
