Hello to All, I have another question...no emergency this time, though : ) I'm learning so much from this list. I was attempting to print a page I was viewing on the internet...it was sort of a "split page", meaning that there was more than one box on the screen at the same time. I wanted to print the info in one of the boxes and couldn't. I tried highlighting.....wouldn't let me. Is it just impossible to print out some pages on the web? Kathy/MI [email protected]

Kathy, I believe that all you need to do is click in the frame that you want to print and then click the print button. ----- Original Message ----- From: KHarrison <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 25, 2000 6:54 AM Subject: [OE] How to print a web page? > Hello to All, > I have another question...no emergency this time, though : ) > > I'm learning so much from this list. > > I was attempting to print a page I was viewing on the internet...it was sort > of a "split page", meaning that there was more than one box on the screen at > the same time.

Printing selected parts of a web page can get to be very tricky, ,,,, sometimes can't at all ,,,, I hit one of these last night and had to use my graphics program and its' "Capture" feature to get only what I wanted ,,, even then, had to do two Captures and piece the two together to make one image. For starters, it is VERY seldom that a person wants to print out ***ALL*** the garbage and ad's on a web page. You can exclude these from printing by changing this option in IE ,,,,,,,, Tools / Internet Options / Advanced tab ---> down to "Printing" and un-check the "Print background colors and images" ,,,, this will print only the main body of the page. Highlighting on a web page can be very tricky ,, you must place your courser at just the right spot (up/down & lf/rt ) to HL only the part you want and sometimes requires numerous attempts, trying various drag starting points. ,,, when you do get the correct area HL'ed , here is a TIP you may not know about ,,,,, even though you have an area HL'ed, if you click on the printer on your tool bar, it will still print the entire page ,,,,, BUT, if you click on File / Print (upper left), you will get a print menu that will allow you to select "Print selection" only ,,, this will print only what you have selected (highlighted) . If its' an object you want off the page ,,, Right click on it and select the "Save Target As" option and save it to your disk ,,, from there you can double click on it to display it and print it. (this works most of the time, sometimes not ,,, depends on the format it is in and whether it is the actual image or just a link to the image).
