printing messages
 

I tried to print some messages and all I got was the side headliners. Is there an icon for printing to the messages? And is there a way I can cut and paste only the messages that I need in that thread?<BR><BR>Thanks in advance.

I'm not computer expert, but I learned if I right click on the area where the actual messages are and then click print, I'll just get the messages, not the list I get if I click &quot;print&quot; on the tool bar.

Assuming you're using Windows, drag the cursor over the text you wish to copy, highlighting (or selecting) it, then press control+c - that pastes the text into the clipboard.<BR><BR>Now go into a text or word processing program. You might be able to just click in the text area, then do a control+V to paste the text in there, or in some program, you might have to click above on Edit then Paste Special.<BR><BR>I would maybe click in the right hand side of this screen, then press control+A (which selects all the messages in this thread) then Control+C, continue to paste the entire thread into your word processor, then delete the sections you don't want.<BR><BR>Now --- since the topic is travel -- tell me about a good place near your home to visit.<BR>

What Patrick suggests will usually work with MSIE, but of course it prints the entire thread. <BR><BR>I think on some versions of MSIE you must not click on the printer icon, but instead must click File - Print - and make sure the option &quot;only the selected fram&quot; is checked.<BR><BR>Or if there's just a part of some page you wish to print, drag the cursor over it, then click file - print - then click the option that reads, &quot;Selection&quot; (in the page range section).<BR><BR>Patrick - re: $6 Y ... I remember when some of those cheap motels ... &quot;6&quot;, &quot;8&quot;, etc actually charged that amount - back when I worked Holiday Inn front desks in the early 70's<BR><BR><BR><BR>

Yes, r-travels. That is where motel 6 got it's name -- it was $6. And Day's Inn originally had an 8 in the sun emblem -- the cost of a room. I remember going to Florida in the late 50's and actually having to pay over $15 a night for our family of 5 along the highway in Georgia. My father was outraged.

r-travels -<BR><BR>I tried highlighting and using contgrol+c - nothing happened. I highlight and right click and copy - then paste on the notepad and print.

Hooray. I learned something new today. I could never manage to print just part of the messages, but followed the advice and it worked.<BR>Highlight the area you want to print.<BR>Go to file,<BR>Click print,<BR>Check select,<BR>click print again.<BR><BR>Perfect.

Great that it worked, Patrick, and Dave - it should work whether you right click &amp; do &quot;copy&quot;, &quot;paste&quot;, or the keys I stated, but as long as it works - great.<BR><BR>Now how about a travel tip or two from you folks?? 'dis ain't no pc forum!<BR>

Now help me find something worth printing.

I hope you weren't referring to me when asking for a travel trip or two. This board and the Europe board are filled with my posts and suggestions.

I sure was ... referring to all who posted in this thread. Just trying to get the topic off pc's, on on to travel.<BR><BR>Yup, Patrick, I see all your helpful posts quite often.<BR><BR>Red Roof Inn in Washington DC has some terrific prices between now and (including) New Year's Eve. It's located 1 block away from the Gallary Place/Chinatown metro station. I stayed there 2 weeks ago .. it's a newer high rise and while the building itself was nicer than the standard roadside &quot;Roof&quot;, the rooms were had the usual, not very fancy but adequate, &quot;Roof&quot; furnishings. The Building Museum, which has been mentioned in this board recently, was on the adjacent block. I often stay over in Arlington, but will stay here on future visits if the rate is as competitive.

Thanks for all your help! I'll give it a try.

I can never get the print to work on Netscape Navigator. You only get a message printout that says &quot;Data Missing&quot;. Whenever I want to print I have to go to the site on MSIE.(Microsoft Internet Explorer.)
