Greetings, all,
Can anyone share some tips about making web documents print neatly as
8.5 x 11 handouts? We maintain a couple dozen subject guides and we're
reconsidering the format. The current web format of the guides, which
print fine on 8.5 x 11, looks like this:
http://www.library.georgetown.edu/guides/africanamerican/index.htm
And we're considering switching to this to make them match the template
of our website:
http://www.library.georgetown.edu/guides/chemistry/index.htm
Mozilla's "shrink to fit" option truncates the images, and I'd prefer to
avoid a browser-specific fix, anyway. We also don't want to maintain
both an HTML and a .pdf file for each guide. Is there something simple
in the code of our current format (I wasn't here when they were
designed) that makes them word wrap neatly onto a print copy?
Reply to me, and I'll summarize if there's interest.
Thanks in advance,
Nina
