Problem printing topics in Portrait orientation...

[isn-removed200637]

Steve/whoever,
It is annoying that when printing topics the topic, being on the RHS has its lines chopped off when portrait orientataion (the default) is used.
Portrait saves paper over using landscape for obvious reasons, but this is ruined by having the Intel side bar printed on every page.
Why not move the left-hand Intel side bar to the right
so that it gets chopped off instead?
Or implement the ability to just print the topic window?
regards

This is a general problem with web sites, especially with MSIE, due to the way that margins are interpreted. The usual way to fix this is with a style sheet for media="print" that specifies different margins. It should be easy to implement and I'll suggest that to the hosting service. I recently implemented this in the CVF newsletter web pages, which had the same problem - go read issue 10, and then print it - see how different it looks? All done with Cascading Style Sheets.

Moving the logo is not an option, unfortunately!

You can do at least part of what you want by selecting the parts you want printed and doing a Print>Selection. If you don't select the first column(s) the rest gets shifted to the left margin. At least this works with MSIE 6 on Win2000 on the printer/network I use. Unfortunately it doesn't work with "print preview".

You might also try reducing the font size in your browser before printing, especially when the right column of a table is beingtruncated.

Many printer drivers have a scaling setting. Reducing it from 100% to, say, 90% or even less can sometimes fit all the content onto a single page.
