Hi there - can anyone help - when ever l print pages from threads it misses out 2 or 3 words from the right,usually l can guess which ones are missing, but its a pain in the u no where!! Someone was asking a few months back about a printing prob, l think she could'nt print from GC - hang on l'll go and look for her thread again!!!! back in a mo:o)))) l'm back (lol) It was Julia from Harlow - Julia have you tried using the tool bar at the top,click on File and then print preview, if l click on print l get a blank page,byt preview works - good luck(knowing me you've probably already tried it - lol) Jude sarf wales

Hi, done this myself. Just highlight and copy it. Don't even bother trying to make it pretty. You will be there all day.

Same with my emails. I change the text size by going to view on toolbar top left. That fixes it when I have that problem.

Jude, I long ago gave up printing directly from the interent. I always highlight, copy onto Microsoft Word, save to My Documents and then print. It is often useful to have kept a copy and I can always delete it again if I have no further use for it. Hope you are all OK. Jim

Oh gawd Pat ur asking me - well here goes: Open Microsoft word Document, minmize this,(you should now be looking at the page you want printing) then go to Tool Bar at top left,click Edit,then Select All,this will highlight the page/s you want, back to Edit and click Copy - then maximise Micro Word Document,back to Edit and click Paste. You should now have what you want printing in a document ready for printing - gawd does that sound ok, try it and see, if not hopefully Dan will come to the rescue!!! lol Jude sarf wales:o)
