Print formatting

[paul]

I copied text into a textbox and set it up as a printer
friendly page for viewer printing? First, can I imbed
page commands as pagnation is now done with line
spacing. Second, can I get rid of the file location
information that prints at the bottom of each page. If
this is a footer can I put in other information?

Thanx, paul

Page breaks are difficult to plan, because in general you
don't know what kind of printer the Web visitor has, or
what size paper. However, to force a page break, code

style="page-break-after: always"

on the element just prior to the break, or

style="page-break-before: always"

on the first element you want to appear on a new page.
You can also code these style elements in page-level or
shared style sheets. For more info, browse:

As to hiding page elements in print that are visible on
screen (or vice versa) try the instructions at:
