Miniscule printing from webpages

[Guest]

Whenever I print information from a webpage, the size of the print is so
small I need a magnifying glass to read it! I can't work out how to correct
this problem.

Before printing: IE View > Text size > select larger/largest size.

 

[Guest]

I've just tried your suggestion Robear but unfortunately, no joy! The
printing is still just the same size as before - minute +++++.

you might try opening up notepad and then copy the text there or Word or any
Word processing program. I had the same problem myself and this fixed it.
Let me know if this works.

This certainly fixes the problem Kaja, however I used to be able to print
directly from the website and get the text in readable size. Maybe there's
been a MS update somewhere along the way that's altered things! I'm a babe
in the woods when it comes to anything other than the most basic operations

IE version? Windows version?

Perhaps your display resolution is too high for your eyes?
Otherwise in order to use View Text size... be aware that you may
have to resort to the Accessibility dialog's Ignore font sizes... option.
(Keystrokes in English version of IE: Alt-T,O,Alt-e,z)

Or perhaps she's running IE7 and Shrink-To-Fit is the cause of the behavior.

Yes ... I am running IE7 (that option wasn't available in the IE Discussion
Group list so I chose IE6 in the hope that someone could provide a solution
to my problem anyway!). Where do I find this "Shrink-to-Fit" option? Jenny

[Thanks, Vincenzo.]

Jenny, always state your Windows version when posting to a public newsgroup
or forum, please. We'd have got you sorted much faster if you'd done so.
