<DIV>Problem with the print friendly option - you get condensed prints with a
lot of black borders, the way I mentioned, you can remove the black, print in
expanded view.</DIV>
<DIV> Also another way is to save as a jpg, like in Ancestry - save
as picture ( jpg ) then right click the picture where you saved it, and use the
printer direct, change preferences to plain paper - print in gray scale so you
are not using the color cartridges to make black - this uses the black only - I
use 4x6 for color.</DIV>
<DIV> Printing direct from a website just makes more mess than a nice
clean copy.</DIV>
<DIV>I can show a couple b4 and after prints to example what I am
mentioning.</DIV>
<DIV> Hey for those who have the preview fax viewer, you can magnify
the item, to where you like it - then, do the same PRTSC ALT - open in Paint,
and you have anexpanded view saved you can work with. I also
have a very old prg still working gives me so many more options - ps another
hint if some thing is so small - print it in high res - use the digital camera,
or cell phone - take a picture - ah ha, you now have a full sized Item not
pixilated, works great on those tiny pictures too. Experiment - I did.</DIV>
<DIV> Hope they fixed the phone lines . We have 541, cell phone, but
have not have a problem here.</DIV>
<DIV> Still winter, hope there is warmer weather someplace.</DIV>
<DIV>Am thinking about relocation to a warmer place.</DIV>

<TD vAlign=top><FONT class=Apple-style-span face=arial size=2>Not sure
if this is relevant or not, but 541 area code is on the fritz this
morning due to a severed fiber optic line. Somehow some people with land
line internet and phone still have service, but people with wireless
internet and cell phones are having not much luck last I
heard. </FONT>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial"><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT class=Apple-style-span face=arial size=2>As to the tiny font
thing, if you are talking about a saved image as per Dan's instructions,
you should be able to enlarge the image if you have some image
editing program better than paint to use is better, but in paint on the
menu at the top of the page you will see "image", click on that and the
option you want is "stretch/skew"; click on that and set the
percentage of stretch at say 150% 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 genealogy.com
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>
