PRINTING FROM THE INTERNET Part 2 of 2

The first two options we reviewed in Part 1, are for quick-easy printing directly from the internet. But, many times we want to be able to change/enlarge the Print style or size of what we are printing from the Internet to make it easier to read, especially with articles, directions, and other important information. So that is when this option works well…

Option 3:

  • “Highlight” the portion of the Internet item you want to print & change (to copy to Word)
  • Be sure pointer is on what’s highlighted then "Right click" on what you have highlighted and an action menu appears - choose/left click on "copy"
  • Minimize email/internet; Open Word, NotePad, Works, whatever WP program you use
  • Right click again (be sure pointer is on the blank page Word, etc), Left click "paste"
  • Now in Word, NotePad or Works, make your print/font style, size changes
  • To print, either left click on the printer icon on the toolbar OR
  • Left click on "file" on the toolbar, then left click on "print"
  • Left click “selection or current page" in page range section & "number of copies you want"
  • Left click "OK" and it will now print with all your changes
To Save what you have now worked on, left click on "File", then "Save As", then be sure you are in "C" Drive, then "My Documents" or find your Flash Drive/Memory Stick and choose that - then choose the folder you want to put it in and left click on Save

TIP: try not to use the printer icon on your internet toolbar, because when you print using this ICON, you will print everything on your monitor including the ads, etc..
