I am no PAW, but before printing try using |File| |Page Setup | while in your internet browser (Internet Explorer, or Netscape, etc.).

In the set up box, is the paper size correct?

Now, look at the Margins.

Try setting the Left at .6, Right at .6 and click |OK|.

You can do a print "Preview" using |File| |Print Preview| and see if the picture looks more adjusted.

Try adjusting the margins to get a more appealing view.

If that doesn't work, perhaps PAW can help.

Thanks Brenda if I set them to 6 it is worse , but if its set to .166 it is better but not correct.
example on the Gerneral Discussion page to the far right it cuts off the s ) in ( Replies ) but there is still a margin.
Thanks for the Reply you are one of my Heros on this board!

Della, If you set your Page Setup to print in "Landscape" instead of "Portrait" you will get the page all the way across.

Try going to print preview then click on the print button at top left corner. I've printed this way a couple of times and has printed all text for me. Good luck.

Most web pages are set up for display on a monitor, not printing on a page. Monitors are typically wider than they are tall, whereas pages (default portrait mode) are taller than they are wide. Therefore things get cut off the right side.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to "adjust to fit page" when printing in portrait mode, but that may lead to very small printing and graphics. It would be better to print in landscape mode, thus the page would be wider than tall, more closely matching the monitor.

Paule advised, "Most web pages are set up for display on a monitor, not printing on a page".

So, if you still prefer printing on portraid rather than landscape mode, do the following.

1. Press the "Print Scrn" button on your keyboard.
2. Open MS Word and press "Ctrl-V or paste" to the word document.

I have not had any E-Docs as of yet , will this affect them printing properly?Or is it that the web printing is only going to be affected?
thanks again

Edocs are page formatted documents in different formats. They are designed and formatted to be printed, not displayed as web pages. As long as you have to right software (Adobe Reader for PDF files and the proper printing utility for the other formats) AND a laser printer, you should have no problems with page formats.
