Printing AB articles

[FRISKA]

Using Ctrl and P allows me to print whatever is on my monitor screen. However, has anyone any advice on how to print a selected artivce that appears on AB ? For instance - a reply from another member. Is it possible just to print the single paragraph rather than all the adverts, menus, othe answers etc that surround the article in question. Tks in anticipation..

I use a very good free program - you can print the whole screen, the whole page, or a selected piece.

Once captured the program allows you to edit it if you wish such as add text

Highlite the piece and press Ctrl c to copy. Open Word page and press Ctrl V to paste. File & print.

Or press right mouse for same instructions.

It's so simple to use, and like the one Ethel uses ,it captures any part or all of the screen.

for terambulan - tks for info but how do I hilite an AB paragraph. Sorry I dont know how.

Place the mouse pointer in the top left hand corner of the entry, press and hold the left mouse button, drag it down to the bottom right hand corner, then release. The selected area should have a grey background. You can select multiple entries, should you wish.

To copy, click the right mouse button and select "Copy", or press and hold the "Ctrl" button and press "C".

Good luck !!

Big Dave . Tks but AB page wont allow this. (unless I am a bit thick) Have you tried this ? Tks for your input.

[BigDave44]

Yes I have - often.

As a matter of interest, what browser are you using?

I haven't used the screen capture above but if I want text from any web page (it works on ab too) this is how I do it.
Using the top menus click

Edit then select all

Edit then Copy

Open a word document and click Edit & paste special

Then choose unformatted text

What this gives you is everything on the screen without the ads etc so you have to tidy up a little.

Big Dave. Internet Explorer

If you are using IE Version 8 Beta, then you need to use compatibility mode. If an earlier version, then it should be ok.

To find the version, select "help" on the top menu bar, and then "about"
