Welcome to the Mac Forums.
First, some hints.... Your title "Sorry if this is in the wrong place" tells us nothing whatsoever about your problem and what help is needed. Most folks will just skip over your post and move on.
Second, you put it in the "Rumors........." forum which clearly has nothing to do with the subject of your post. I moved your post here to the correct forum and edited your title.
This may be very basic, but as im not particularly clued in i need help. I have a mac mini with word 2008 installed but when I click print there are no print options come up, like how many copies, how many pages etc. the printer just prints the whole document. As i'm used to windows and have never come across this can someone tell me how to enable that function or at least work around it? Thanks Mark
Make sure you have correctly installed the printer you're using and the latest drivers for it. You didn't tell us which printer it is? When you select "Print" from Word 2008 a dialog will open giving a choice of printer and printing to PDF. From the print menu, you should further have a choice of number of copies, page, orientation, etc. Are you sure you're not missing those options or do not know how to select them?
And finally, when you post a question please tell us about your Mac and which version of OS X it's running.
