Web page only prints a partial page on the printer
Hi
This problem I have is adequately defined by Microsoft in the following article: 257085 which states: .................................................. ...................... SYMPTOMS When you print or preview a Web page, the layout of the text may not be exactly the same as when you view the page in Internet Explorer. CAUSE This behavior can occur if the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) code in the Web page uses specific margin settings to position elements on the page. The print and preview features do not have default margins, so the position of the elements may not be identical to the viewed page. WORKAROUND Web page developers can work around this issue by setting "margin=0" in the body tag of the Web page. STATUS Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article .................................................. ........................ This is exactly what happens...but only after I 'updated' the Windows 98 SE to current levels. Prior to this all was OK. Has anyone else seen this, and, if so, have you found a reasonable workaround? I appreciate the time. Herm |

....your post would have been better sent to
news://msnews.microsoft.public.windo....ie6.b rowser A thorough exploration of the "page layout" settings in your browser, and in your printer settings is called for ! I can't be much help because I've been fighting with the way in which pages print out, from IE6, for months, if not years !! I've tried all sorts, e.g. set margins to minimal in IE6, set "fit to page" in Epson printer software, and ....have tried all sorts. When printing pages from IE6 it helps to have "page preview" in your printer software switched on, so that you check just how bad things, (layout wise), are, before actually printing it out ! When printing web pages that use "frames" and the right hand margin is chopping off the right hand side, of lines of text, I print the pages out using Landscape layout, - that's the only way I've found of not losing words on the right hand side of the page. regards, Richard "antidote" wrote in message ...

A good point. By the way that NG URL in my previous post should have been
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...er.ie6.browser I've done what you suggest in the past, though I have Word strangled by "program control" in my firewall, and unless (in Word) you use "Paste Special" | "Unformatted Text" it can all get a bit unwieldy in Word-(2000 i use). If one does a straight "paste" it seems to take ages before it appears in Word, prolly 'cause I've got Word "strangled". ...to do with tables and URL's / layout etc. I suppose. .... though, as I said earlier, it's really annoying when the right hand edge of lines of text get chopped off e.g. in IE6's "Page Preview" and/or in printer "Print Preview," and one spends ages digging around in IE6 and printer software settings, only to end up disappointed ! regards, Richard "jane" wrote in message ...

I appreciate the time. Herm Thanks for the time and the note back. I will check the updated web site you suggest. The landscape thing is almost OK....except that it still chops off the last couple of columns...the page printed well before the Security and subsequent updates--I am sure of this as the page I am talking about is the Direct TV Account billing page and the money balances are on the extreme right margin--I have the old ones filed away. Goofy. It is not just IE problems---I use the Avant browser and found the same thing exists. I will follow up the post as soon as I can deal with the problem. Herm |

Solution:::
Un-strangle Word from program-control; seems the firewall is not allowing you full enjoyment of comp. regards Jane oh, paste-special shouldnt be required. "RJK" wrote in message ... A good point.
