The Highway Forums Resources HELP Forum Printing Article of the Month

I was trying to print the Edith Schaffer article, but I think the graphics are hindering me. Is there anyway to get a "plain" copy of the article? Thanks

If you do, simply UNcheck it. See the screenshot below. If that doesn't do it for you, get back and there are other options you can try. In fact, there is a existing thread in this Forum a few weeks back on this very subject.

Pilgrim,

I checked and the print backgrounds thingy was not checked.

I'll look for the discussion on the topic.

I also tried to do the Select All on just the text but that didn't work either.

Hey, don't panic! [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/rofl.gif" alt="rofl" title="rofl[/img] There's several ways to "skin a cat". Try saving the page as a "Text file" from the "File/Save as" dialog. See the screenshot below:

I just got it printed...all 13 pages of it. Good thing I just purchased a new ink cartridge yesterday. Highlighting the text worked after all. Thanks for your help

Cool! It worked. I'll try that method next time. Thanks again.

Great! [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/joy.gif" alt="joy" title="joy[/img] You can also try yet another method. Highlight all the text and then either key in "Ctrl + c" (copy) or right-click and choose "Copy" from the context menu and then "Paste" the text into a text editor. My first choice would be Microsoft Word, then next WordPad, if you don't have any 3rd party text editors, e.g.,

TextShield Fusion (Probably the best free ".rtf" editor around) or,

Editpad Lite (I personally use Editpad Pro, but it isn't free. The "Lite" version is free).
