Re: Designing a web page so that it prints nicely

[Barry Campbell <barry -dot- campbell -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Emily,

Char has pointed you in the right direction (use CSS, create a
print-specific style sheet) but I just wanted to point you to this
article, which is a good (and brief!) introducton to the topic:

http://www.webdesignschoolreview.com/css-printing.html

If you Google something like "webpages print css" you'll be deluged
with information.

Also, wanted to point you to an excellent tool for creating and
working with style sheets: Bradbury Software's "TopStyle."  The "Lite"
version is free and the "Pro" version is affordably priced (around $80
if memory serves, try-before-you-buy download available.)

I have no affiliation with Bradbury other than being a very satisfied
user of their product.
