printing web pages

[Christa Burns]

You don't have to count the pages in print preview.  When you put the 
mouse arrow on the page, it turns into a magnifying glass.  Click on it 
and it will zoom into the page, making the text much easier to read. 
Scroll down to the bottom and it will say "1 of 5" which will tell you 
how long the entire web page is from the first page.   You will only need 
to page through the pages if you want to determine which part of the web 
page falls on which numbered page, so that you can print out part of a 
page using the range choice.
