I can't seem to find the 'short cut' key for print-preview - anyone found it?

And, is there a default icon for it like in the past?

There's no shortcut for it, but you can add a button to the toolbar if you want. It's located at:

View > Customize Toolbars and Menus > Commands > File

Since the Print Preview is already in the menu bar, I don't think you will have any problem mapping a shortcut key to it.

Oh yeah, I'm doing all the above from Word 2008.

sorry, this there's a thread bout office 08,

an off topic question,
did your word 08 take 3 times longer the time to load pages '08 ?
just want to make sure my mb isnt low in ram
