September 2000 - http://www.fineprint.com FinePrint Web gives users unprecedented control over printing from browsers and Adobe Acrobat, saving time, money, and trees. FinePrint Software is releasing FinePrint Web, an easy-to-use printer driver that delivers unparalleled formatting, layout, and printing capabilities to every web user-for free. With FinePrint Web, users can collect, rearrange, reformat, and save web print jobs.

FinePrint Web saves money on paper and toner, transportation and storage costs, and time and hassles in managing print jobs. Since it is ad-supported, it is totally free. How FinePrint Web fixes web printing problems. FinePrint Web can print 2, 4, or 8 pages on a single sheet of paper, saving time, money, and trees. Users can opt to eliminate bitmaps to speed printing and save ink. Thanks to the preview function, it�s simple to detect widow pages and discover printing problems with web pages that use frames. Users can delete unwanted pages with a mouse click. The page scaling feature lets users control page breaks to avoid inconvenient truncation in printouts. With FinePrint Web, it �s easy to create documents assembled from a variety of websites by deferring, collecting, and rearranging printouts of selected pages, saving them for subsequent editing or emailing to a colleague, and printing them out as a booklet or other formats. Pages can be copied to the clipboard and used in other applications. FinePrint Web works seamlessly with Netscape, Internet Explorer, and Opera browsers as well as Adobe Acrobat, delivering new levels of control and customization to every web user. The printing, publishing, and information industries are moving away from the old print-and-distribute model. FinePrint Web makes the most of the new distribute-and-print approach by enabling users to create exactly the kind of printouts they want.

If you can't get your work done in the first 24 hours, work nights. If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done. Getting the job done is no excuse for not following the rules. No matter how much you do, you never do enough. _____ The Mail Bag ________________________________________ Ned writes... * "Currently using Day-Timer, which fits needs perfectly, except the database is fragile and I keep dropping or duplicating appointments.
