Way to print articles better? (1 Viewer)

[GroveDiesel]

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but when I print articles off of the site, I often lose parts of words or entire words on the right hand side of the page. I love reading them on the train to and from work and I can usually piece together by the context, but it tends to break up the flow and make the read less enjoyable. Is it something I'm doing wrong? Is there a different way to print them out that will solve this problem?

Landscape. It's more pages but you don't miss a single word.

A printer-friendly version would be a nice and I assume easy-to-implement feature.

IE 7 which is still in beta says it will print everything in margins but I have not tried myself

also, I use firefox and I only tried on one page but if you switch the margins from .5 to .3 it looks like all the text printed, good luck

Why not just copy the text, place into a Word Document and edit however you like? It is pretty simple.

Absolutely. The only way to fly.

I just do this with my email program most of the time.

what are your margins set at? What if you make them smaller(wider page)?DD designs a site in the old school netscape way

see http://www.footballguys.com/

see the gap on the right? That's definitely not a wide page

here's Mike's latest article

same space on the right.

It should print fine.

Are page breaks a prob?(vertical) Those you can adjust in some print preview windows.

Another suggestion-

The Off by one browser

Use that just for printing. Turn off images, change font....set it up for your printing then use that to cruise the web just when ya want to print.(use IE or Firefox 99% of the time, just for printing)

Basically it's a browser in its very simplest form extremely stripped down and easy to modify by just checking or unchecking options.

I've been doing this for years onto word. The only problem is the pictures don't come out and instead you get these "boxes" so I have to cut and paste around the pics.
