Default Print preview does not match page layout

Is there a way to tell Publisher to ignore my printer settings and just show
me what it's going to look like?


The whole object of Print Preview is to show what will print with the
current settings.

You can hide Boundaries and Guides using Ctrl+Shift+O; that will give a
pseudo-print preview. Alternatively you can change the active printer to
a PDF driver; that will allow custom large-format page sizes. You may
want to consider using a PDF anyway, since it may avoid potential
difficulties that arise from moving a file from one machine to another,
such as differences in the installed fonts.
