How Does One Print This Stuff Out?
 
I have a long plane ride ahead and would love to print out some of this material for reading...however when I push "print" on my computer all I get is pages and pages of the questions and none of the responses! What am I doing wrong?<BR>Thanks for your help!

Cut and paste what you want into a word file, then print from there. Much more efficient than trying to print straight from the message board.

Try this: with your cursor on the right hand side somewhere in one of the responses, RIGHT CLICK and select PRINT. That should print the responses only.

Hi Kitty!<BR>I know what is happening! (I've made the same mistake myself!)<BR>After you select the topic, move your cursor to the right-hand bar. Use your mouse to click and hold down while you "drag" the bar down to the bottom of the answers - as if to read the whole column. In that way you have "selected" the right-hand window of answers, as opposed to the left hand window of questions. <BR>Now when you select "Print" (and "All") from your File options, you should get what you want! <BR>Good luck and happy travels!

Alternatively (& particularly if you only want to print part of a thread) highlight the sections you are interested in with your mouse & then in the file menu choose 'print', & then under 'print range' choose 'selection' before 'ok'. Cheers...

Additionally, should you choose to do the 'copy & paste' into a word file (best if you'd like to keep the info in a document), then choose the "Paste Special" (in Word, it's under the Edit menu) --- then you'll want to select unformatted text. This way it'll drop the HTML formatting (web stuff) and just maintain the text itself. <BR>

Thanks to everyone who wrote! I will give it another try and plan for success and lots of good reading. Thank you!
