George,

Save the page file to disk.  And then use your photo/image software to print just the part you want.  The actual image for census pages is really large.  So, you can print a very readable image of just the part you want.

The directions I follow are to:

1. click on the print button
2. okay "print using your computer"

Then, the image will come up along with the following instructions:

To save a copy of this image to your computer:
1. Click on the image with your right mouse button (control-click on Macintosh)
2. Select "Save Picture As" ("Download Image to Disk" on Macintosh)
3. Select a name and location for this image on your computer
4. Click "Save"

The only thing I would add is to save the file in a place where you can easily find it and rename it so you know what it is because they just have a generic name.  I use something like:

psmith1930id.jpg - for peter smith, 1930 census, idaho

Hope this helps.

Terri
