I am not sure who fiddler (Andy) is getting at over underlining!

However if it is me (and relating to page folk51 of SeeRed) I take the point about producing a pure text version for printing. The following instructions (which take only a few seconds to implement) will be added to the "textsizes.htm" page as soon as a certain server in California gets its act together. It has been upgraded and you know what that means - it no longer works properly.

"For printing, one recommended procedure is to download the required page as an htm file, then open it using WORD or OFFICE or a similar word processor, then save it again but this time as a .doc file. This can then be reformatted to set margins and font types and sizes. Retaining the arial font is recommended for greatest clarity. However, browsers and computers vary, so take these ideas as a guide only!

To print in black only, simply select the whole page (edit/select all) and set font size and colour. To remove the underlining of words that were hyperlinks simply underline and then de-underline the whole selected text.

To print just part of a page, try selecting the text and copy to clipboard (edit/copy). Then open Notepad or another text editor and paste the text into a new file. Then print as normal. You may lose some formatting and colour but this is often unimportant. Notepad files are 'text only' and cannot carry macro-viruses that can be associated with WORD files."

I hope that is helpful.
