Printing web pages – without the text running off the edge…

A common question I am asked is how to print web pages without cutting off the text on the right-hand side of the paper. Web site designers don’t always think about the printability of their page when they design a web site. You may be able to correct the problem by adjusting some settings in the Page Setup menu of your web browser to make all of the text fit on a standard size piece of paper.

In Internet Explorer go to File > Print Preview > click the Page Setup icon and change the margins to a lower number (0.3 inches for example). If that doesn’t help you can choose to print the page in Landscape Orientation (sideways on the paper). If you use Firefox, the AT&T Yahoo Browser or AOL’s browser, the adjustments are similar. Just look for “Print Preview” in the File menu.
