lookAndFeel	UserLookAndFeel	A UserLookAndFeel object which specifies the look and feel settings applied to the Print Preview form.

Remarks

If the link’s document has not yet been created (the CompositeLink.CreateDocument method has not been called for it), then calling the ShowPreviewDialog method will create it first.

Consequently, if a document was created prior to calling the ShowPreviewDialog method, and nothing was changed that may force its re-creation, the ShowPreviewDialog method does not re-create it, so you need to manually call the CompositeLink.CreateDocument method to apply the document changes.
