Printing question

[xavier]

Is there an easy way to set up a print button on a page
to print only a certain area or the whole page but make
it fit width wise in a printer friendly way.

Some websites like HP, DELL etc have a putton to print
your quote in a readable way so it all fits in the width
of the page.

When any one tries to print a page your viewing on the
web it cuts the right side on the page, I guess what I
want to do it give the user a button to print the page
and have it all fit and print.

Thanks
Xavier

Hi Xavier,

The sites you mentioned use CSS to reformat the page for printing.

Is there any way to do this from within Frontpage ?

I publish a news letter for our office on our intranet,
it is all based on FrontPage, some users like to print
the news letter but since there is a frame on the left
side of the page when they print they loose quite a bit
on the right side, this even happens on a regular web page
when you hit the print button you loose about 1" or so of
text from the right side of the page.

thanks
Xavier

Give them instructions to right click inside the particular frame page to
print, or set up a printer friendly page with just the info you want them to
print and link to it.

Not intrinsically there is not.

You'll have to use CSS with the @page directive.

@page sets up the page layout, e.g,

@page mylandscape {
size: 11in 8.5in;
margin: 1in;
marks: crop;
}

Then to print the divs on the page use

div.overhead {
page: mylandscape;
page-break-after: always;
}
