Re: [lace-chat] Printing wide pages
Hello Jacquie Have you tried View -> source and then copy and paste into your own html editor and print from that? What's the URL and I'll have a go.

[lace-chat] Printing wide pages - a solution
Many thanks to Candida for suggesting printing on landscape format; my friend's comment was "Not economic with paper but great on my nerves." She has yet to try "print to fit page" (thank you Margaret) but now it has been pointed out, we realise the problem may be that in the UK we are all set up for A4 paper and US websites are probably done for letter paper which is wider and shorter. As usual, arachne saves the day, and sanity. Jacquie To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [lace-chat] Printing wide pages
That's very common if one is trying to print on A4 paper from Web sites that think the entire world uses American 'letter size' paper. ;-) Or it might just be incompetent Web design. There are a number of ways to do this, but this is the simplest. 1. In the browser, choose Page Setup from the File menu. 2. Check the Landscape option. 3. Click OK. Now her pages will print width-wise on the paper instead of lengthwise. It is important to change the Page Setup back to Portrait. If you don't, everything you print will be arranged sideways. If this doesn't work, write to me privately and send me the URL. I'll see whether I can come up with a solution.

A friend of mine has sent me an SOS for some computer help. Why she thinks I'll know the answer I don't know, but I'm sure one of you will. She is trying to print a page from a web site with no printer-friendly page option. She has found it is cutting off the last word and a bit from the RH end of the lines. She's tried moving out the margins, copying it first into a document then printing, highlighting then printing the selection - in fact everything we can think of with our collective brains.
