Yes, Sherry, I do that too! I also find that I cannot print anything from the web as I want it. I like to remove all the ads and extraneous things from the pages, and re-format to suit me (and make it fit on one page, if possible). I will often use Word (so I can include pics) or sometimes Wordpad, which is a simpler text-only program (saved in RTF format). There are other text programs one can use, whatever you have available on your computer. I can then store these files according to topic and all is well! Well, at least until MS changes their format once again and these older files will not open!

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Neat "mug shots"
DUH - I didn't even think of that - thanks. I've done that for web
pages before (copy/paste them into MS Word) so I can control the page
breaks, formatting, and such. I guess since his document is within
multiple frames I was just assuming the copy/paste trick wouldn't work -
but it does! It does require 1 copy/paste per tab, but that's not a big
deal.
I actually like to "print" things like this to a PDF and then I put it
in my "Legacy tips" folder for future reference so I don't have to
remember "where was that web site w the tip about xxxx"
As far as increasing the size - the ctrl/shift/+ enlarges the ENTIRE web
page. It does not increase the frame's percentage on the page. When
viewed right now the document only takes up about 1/3 of my screen.
Granted, it looks clean and sharp, but having a bigger frame would allow
one to see more of the document without scrolling withIN the frame window.
Thanks again,
Bob

It will take a little time to implement as I am a very busy person, and I'd like to make sure that it works proper before I upload the new code to print.
