BS'D Thank you for your answers! I had two plans for this one is to save it as a word document the other to print it out. The odd thing is that it worked once than stopped working with the usual dreadful WinWord.exe has generated errors blah . I also made the mistake of opening one page of my web site forgetting I had word 2000 well when I went to look at the html what I surprise I had I tried printing at Kinko's and the text goes over the margin that is why I had hoped to use a word processor to make sure I got all of it Thanks Lewis

Adrian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I assume you want to keep the formatting of the web page, as close as possible? If so, then you're probably better off avoiding either MSOffice or OpenOffice. Just use your browser's print menu and choose "Print to File". Kinko's should be able to print the file that you create that way--if not, grab one of the free PDF converters and use that to create a PDF "printout" that you can print at Kinko's. <Joe ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
