Newsletter Archives Print Only Part of a Page
Most Windows programs allow you to print part of a document instead of the whole thing. To print part of a page, highlight the part you want to print by moving the mouse pointer to the beginning of the section, holding down the left mouse button, and moving the mouse to the end of the selection. Make sure it's still highlighted - the text will be white on a dark background.
Click on File to open the menu, click on Print, and choose Selection in the Page Range area of the dialog box. Click the OK or Print button.
In some programs, the Selection choice may not be in the first Print dialog box. In that case, look for a button that says Options. Click on it; you should find the Page Range area in the resulting dialog box. Click the OK or Print button.
Only the part of the document that you highlighted will print.
An alternative to using the Selection feature is to Copy and Paste the text in your word processing program, and then print from there.
To do this, highlight the text that you want to print. Click Edit on the menu, and then click Copy. Switch to your word processing program. Click Edit on the menu, and then click Paste. The highlighted text will appear in the word processing document.
Advantages to copying text into a word processing document: if you want to print two or more nonconsecutive areas of a document, you can copy each block of text into your word processing program, then only have to print the word processing document one time.
Special Note for AOL users: AOL currently has a “bug” in this feature where the text highlighting is removed by opening the Print dialog box. There is a very lengthy fix for this, but a simpler way would be to Copy and Paste the text you want to print into your word processing program, then print from there.
