Michael's idea prompted me. I use two style sheets, one for 'print' and one
for 'screen'.
Generally I find that the print and screen css are applied heirarchically, so I
code most
of the stuff I want in the 'screen' css and my print one looks like follows:
BODY {
margin: 10px;
padding: 0px;
}
.menu {
display: none;
}
You can add other tag definitions you want to hide, I usually only hide the
menu.
Cheers
