Tips: Stop wasting paper. Print just a selection of that Web page
Don't you just hate it when you print a Web page, and the pictures and design cram the text into a thin, 3-word wide column? Fortunately, most major news sites have a "print" version of the page, but you still have to click a link to get to it (oh, the horror!). And they still manage to include an ad at the bottom of the page.
A better way to print the text you want, without ads and the design, is simply just print a selection of the page.
Here's how you do it:
- On any Web page*, select the text you want with your mouse.
- Press Ctrl+P, and the Print dialog box appears. (See keyboard shortcuts for more efficient ways to work)
- In the Print Range section, click Selection.
- Click Print, and only the selection prints out. You'll save paper, reduce waste, and be much less annoyed.
* FYI: This trick doesn't work on pages that use Flash to display text.
