I have a table containing information, however when the
user selects "print" is there a way to designate which
cells in the table are to be printed?

thanks

No, sorry. You have to create a second Web page that
contains only the content you want to print, then set up
one of those, "Click here for printer-friendly version,"
links.

In the orginal table I have a form with different fields
colllecting user input. What is the form command which
will populate the "new" print friendly version page?

That's more complicated since you would have to use JavaScript to open a popup window and "build" the page using content from the
existing page
You can get some info on passing form information to another window at

Or for IE only you could use CSS
In the HEAD section add this CSS
<style type="text/css" MEDIA="print">.noprint {display: none;}</style>
Then in your page table in each cell you don't want to print add the style as a class
<td>
<div align="center" class="noprint">
Your Non printing content
</div></td>

If you're using the FrontPage Save Results component to save the form
submission, the visitor should print the confirmation page.

If the default confirmation page doesn't meet your needs, you can
create a custom confirmation page. This is an ordinary Web page, laid
out any way you want, with a "Confirmation Field" component for each
form field you want to display.

To add a confirmation Field Component to your Web page, chose Web
Component from the Insert menu, then Advanced Controls, then
Conformation Field. When the Confirmation Field Properties dialog box
appears, enter the name of the form field you want to display.

To make the Save Results component use your custom confirmation page,
right-click the form, choose Properties, click Options, and select the
Conformation page tab. Then, specify URL Of Conformation Page.

The CSS worked to NOT print the text inside the cell. Thx. How do I get it to not even print the cell? I have a menu in the narrow left column and my data in the right column. I want to print only the right column (no cells or borders from the left column).

Make 2 side by side tables, each in a div
