1) Create a duplicate different page for the printer friendly information,
that doesn't have any themes, bunches of images, lots of menus, etc. Simply
the text information you want them to print.
2) Then, create a link to it on your other page(s)

Dan,
In today's world of next level browsers with CSS support use the @media selector to reformat the page for print. This will allow you
to have only one page to maintain, not two.

IMHO, it's better to use the .css than to make another page.

also, an interesting way I'd thought of would be to format the pages very
"plainly" (just the content) and then use that page containing only the
content to the page via a FrontPage include.
here's the cool part;
since the FrontPage include is done on your desktop at "save time" and
simply writes the stuff between the <body tage>, you could add a bit of
JavaScript to the "plain" page that does something like <body onload;
print().....
you'll have to do a search for it because I don't remember exactly the
statement but I have seen it.
what you'll get is a page whose text can be written into your "screen"
presentation page, but if hit directly (this would be your link to the
"print" page) will automatically try to print itself.
the advantage of this is you get a big "bang for the buck" by using the
FrontPage include since any changes you make to the "print" page will
immediately be reflected in the "screen presentation" page and it'll be easy
for you to present your "print" page by simply adding a link (button or
text) to the "print page".

Chris,
I assume you're responding to Tom Pepper and not me as I advocate for the use of CSS not only for printing but also for design
layout.
Using two pages for printing and tables for layout is "old school" thinking and IMHO it's time to move forward.

I was just replying to the thread in general, and apparently myself also!
;-)
I agree .css is a great way to go for this type thing. I'm also looking
into using it to format pages for pda. If you use the style sheet switching
@ rule you can actually specify a whole set of lower resolution and physical
size graphics to go with the re-sized <divs> and what not.
It's pretty cool.
you have to admit though, using the include as I mentioned is definitely a
big leverage of FrontPage's abilities even if it was never intended for that
particular purpose.
