Subject: Print size of info from internet sites

I know I'm probably missing something very simple, but...When I print information from a site, for example an episode list for the upcoming JAG shows for the next month, the print size is very small. How do I adjust it to a larger print size? I have no problem changing it when I am typing something, but even though I've tried several things, I obviously have not tried the right thing. This happens when I am on IE as well as AOL. The print sized used to be larger, so I know it's possible to adjust it. Thanks in advance for any help.

[> I can't say that I've had that exact same problem, but I have had a problem where not everything on the webpage prints out. What I usually do to get around it is to highlight everything on the page right click copy and paste it into MS Paint or MS Word. Then print from there. I'm sure there is a better way, though. -- JAG Junkie (Ronda), 18:39:58 09/09/07 Sun [1]

I can highlight and right click on copy, but then do not get the "paste" option when I right click. I tried the right click and the AOL Edit too with the right and left, but it won't allow me to paste (I have copied and pasted before from the main screen, so I can do it.) If I over come the "paste problem", how do I get it into MS Word?

[> [> [> [> [> [> Thanks, I'v even tried taking the margin to 0" but still lost the first letters. I solved it this time by changing the print out to landscape instead of protrait. I'll try different settings to see if can get it resolves. Glad others had the same problem so I don't feel so computer illiterate. Thanks for the suggestions. -- ED, 16:29:07 09/15/07 Sat [1]
