Printing webpage articles
I've found that many artices I print off the web cut off anywhere from 1/4" to 1/2" of the text. Is there a way to get this text printed so I can read the article without having to guess what the words are on the ends of the lines?

Hey FF,
I hear ya there... it still amazes me that some people publishing thigs to the web can't format a document so you can print it... Microsoft Technet is a perfect example. About 20% of the docs I get off Technet cannot be printed without some difficulty. Usually what I end up doing is highlighting the text and copying and pasting it into Word. Sometimes though there are embedded links or graphics and it's a royal pain... |

Yeah, you would think they would have an online printible version at the very least. I don't really like reading long articles on the computer. I sometimes get distracted and start doing something else. When I print it out, I can just spend a few minutes reading the whole thing over with no distractions (such as annoying pop-ups)

When I find a goodie document or info I wish to save and print, I highlight it and copy. Then I open Word Pad and select "paste special" and "unformatted text". Works great.

I usually print everything off the web in landscape mode to keep from losing part of it.

I use landscape mode. If this is even too wide, I print to PDF with Fine Print PDF Factory, shrink to fit page, then print the PDF on the printer.
