Hi - i have XP Pro on my computer and i am not very experienced.My
problem is printing from the web.printed pages tend to have the right
side words cut off.I,m sure that this is a simple problem to solve,but
like everything else it's simple when you know how.Can anyone help
please
 
open up a web page and then click on file (top left) and select Print
preview.It should show you the page with the right hand side missing. Close
the preview window and then click on the 'x' next to favorites down the side
of the web page and close the favorites menu. Go back to File(Top Left) and
select print preview .
You should now see the whole page.

This is an annoying feature of Internet Explorer. When I'm forced to
use that on a public computer, I have to do Print Preview before
printing _anything_.

Sometimes you can solve the problem by switching to landscape mode.

Ultimately the answer is to switch to a better browser, such as
Mozilla Firefox.

However, it should be said that certain sites are very badly laid out
and no browser can cope with them.
 
Hi,
If the page is primarily text, you could try a smaller text size- IE> View>
Text size.

If changing the text size doesn't work, try this freeware program from

Internet Explorer Fitted-Width Printing

Have you ever printed a web page only to find that the right-hand edge is
missing? This is for you. First, this download page will install the
control. After installation, close the browser window and reopen a new one.
You should have a new printer icon with a small 'W' next to it on the
toolbar. Press this to bring up a print dialog which will then print the
page fitted to the width of your paper. Alternatively, hold down the Control
key while pressing the button and you will get a print preview instead.

Note: After downloading this ActiveX Object (into Downloaded Program Files)
you may have to go to IE> View> Toolbars> Customize to find and display the
icon.

Hope this helps,
