for both horizontal and vertical and save the file. If the image is just real small, you might be able to avoid all of that if you use Windows picture and fax viewer to print the image you can use the image as a full page print, no matter how small it is. If the resolution is bad though you may get a print to pixellated to read.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial" size="2">Some web sites offer a "printer friendly option" button somewhere on the page and if the printout you are getting includes a lot of the extraneous material on the page that might be your easiest option. I usually copy text material from the source page and use word to paste it into. I have gazillions of "internet search" files in most of my 70 or so surname folders. Often I will have a file that I past all the email for a given family, another file where I past all
the things I get from places like SSDI, Cal death index, stuff I used to get free from Vital search which unfortunately I didn't save all of that way and when they quit giving anything away I lost everything I had saved from them as a web page, but a lot of families I have twenty or thirty pages of that and another file I put stuff like roots web and <a href="http://genealogy.com">genealogy.com</a> and ancestry info in. </font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial" size="2">If you use a file like that to store the info in be sure and include the URL of the page it came from and if possible find the home page for the site so you can include that URL and the name of the people or organization that has put the info out there. Of course there is no guarantee the URL will be any good tomorrow, but at least if you have the home page info it is more likely you can track them down. I have
tracked people down that way 3 or 4 years after saving something and had them mystified that i had the information I was asking them about as they had long since removed the web page, or sometimes I find things in Google Cache that people have dumped years before.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial" size="2">If you are printing text directly from a web page another trick that might work is just to enlarge the font on the page, I am not sure if that affects the printing process or not, but most web pages that are well designed can be enlarged by holding down the the ctrl key and spinning the wheel on your mouse, if you don't have wheel mouse I am not sure where to go for that though; okay if you don't have a wheel mouse hold down the ctrl key and hit plus for larger and - for smaller, that is very helpful for those of us whose eyes arent'
what they used to be too, as you can blow a page up to where it is easy to read.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial" size="2">Hope some of this helps folks.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial" size="2">Les<br></font><br><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial" size="2">--- On </font><b style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; ">Sun, 5/15/11, Susie Gust <i><<a href="mailto:rgust@netwtc.net">rgust@netwtc.net</a>></i></b><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial" size="2"> wrote:</font><br><blockquote style="border-left-width: 2px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px; font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; "><br>From: Susie Gust <<a href="mailto:rgust@netwtc.net">rgust@netwtc.net</a>><br>Subject: Re: [or-roots] <a href="http://oregonnews.uoregon.edu/"><a href="http://oregonnews.uoregon.edu/">http://oregonnews.uoregon.edu/</a></a><br>To:
