Hi Maia,

If I understand you correctly, you want to add a link to a
"Printer-Friendly" version of a page. This could be a hyperlink, or a button
that uses a JavaScript "onclick" event handler.

The basic principle is this: You need to create a version of the page that
is "printer-friendly" for printing. This can be done by creating a seond
version of the page, or by using CSS styles. Using CSS is a fairly tricky
task, and if you have little CSS experience, you might want to go with a
second version of the page. The advantage to using CSS is that the second
version of the page is actually the same page with different CSS styles
applied, so that if you need to change the page, you only have to change one
copy.

Once you've created you second version of the page, you just create a link
to it, as you would with any other page.
