Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that it becomes troublesome to display print previews of many documents to be printed. SOLUTION: In the methods and the apparatus for proofing a variable document intended for printing, a GUI 2000 is configured to allow user manipulation of layout rules associated with content containers within a template for variable document generation. Selective proofing involves proofing a plurality of variable data documents each formed from a common layout in which variable data content is inserted into containers having locations and sizes within the layout and defined by layout rules. A container is set in the template to form the layout, which is then modified to thereby generate an exemplary document by placing exemplary content into the container, wherein a dimension of the container and/or a position of the container are varied based upon a property of the inserted content.
