Please choose the Print Scrn Key on your keyboard.  It is situated on
the top right hand side of your keyboard.  Then press the CTRL and  C 
keys to copy the page. Open a Word document and press CTRL and  V  to
paste it. This should solve your problem.

Wondering --

One of the problems with HTML is that you don't have control over
margins.  However, try changing your text size, then printing.  In
Internet Explorer you'll use these menu options:
Favorites
  -- Text size
     -- Smaller (or smallest)

Best regards,

Hi.  

One thing you can do when you have this problem is to print in
Landscape.  Try a Print Preview.  THis can be a good guide as to what
the right-hand margin is doing.  While you are in Print Preview you
can see if you need to avoid printing unwanted text such as left-hand
frame navgation bars but no content, or last page unwanted
information.  (Choose to print say pages 2-4...)

In Netscape Navigator you can make a printing preference, hrink to
Fit, but that won't help if you definitely prefer IE.

But setting the margins in IE - as omnivorus says, that's a very
different problem and does not necessarily solve the problem.

Best, r2l

That should, of course, read "Shrink to fit"...
