Not mentioned yet: offer a link to a "print version", which can be a Word- or pdf document. Pro: then the diagrams can be more as you want them to be printed on A4, without empty pages or spaces. Con: At the start once some extra work. - And: if a page is changed, the print version has to be adapted too (but in your case the pages are rather static). And: adding a page means adding a new print document. If planned 100000's of pages in future, I should not do it this way. ;-)
2. And another option, with use of the page-html. You can turn around the printing order in the print stylesheet: first the diagram (whole page, or some less), second page the "header" (can be now a footer too) and other stuff you want to be printed. Then the gap between the pages will be minimalised. The second page will be ending with the white space which caused the gap; but that is normal for the end of a document. :-) Greetings, francky ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
