Print Only the Part you Need
Want a printed copy of only part of the information on a web page and don't want to copy the entire page or multiple pages? There are a couple of options:

  1. Highlight the part of message desired, then copy and paste to a blank email and print it without sending the message. Cancel the email and you have a copy of the desired information.
  2. If you are using Internet Explorer: From the web page you are on, highlight the text you want to print. Click on File/Print. In the print dialog window, under "Print range" click on "Selection" and then click the "OK" button at the bottom. Only the text you have highlighted will print.

Also, if you have a 10 page paper and have to make a correction to one page, just print the page you made the correction to, rather than the entire paper.
