Hi all

I would like to print the tutorial: Creating a Custom DVD Menu Layout. However, the rightmost text gets cut off on my printouts. I have tried scaling, landscape mode, margin setting and all sorts of printer setting adjustments, but to no avail.

Any ideas?? I tried to search the forums for anything related to this problem, but did not find anything.

Do you have a link to the tutorial? I could try it on my printer to see if I get the same results.

The link to the tutorial is:

If you have Adobe Acrobat (writer) Installed you could try printing to the Adobe Printer and create a PDF file.

Another way is drag your mouse over the entire tutorial so it is all highlighted and right click then copy.
Now paste it into something like Microsoft Word

Well... I tried two things, one worked, one didn't.

First, I just clicked on the Print button on my browser and selected Shrink to Fit and it worked perfectly!!

Then I copied all and pasted into MS Word. The text part was okay but only about 2/3's of most of the graphics displayed. The rest was cut off.

Printing can be a problem on the net!

I found a Third way to print it.

I use Firefox browser but I'm sure IE will do about the same.

Select File, Save as or Save Page as, then in the type box, "Web Page Complete". Save it to your hard drive. Then right click on the HTML file, and choose "Open with MS Word". Viola it opens the HTML with all the images in MS Word, and now it can be printed out from within MS Word..

The bit I forgot to mention when using this method is, after pasting into WORD, you then click any pictures that are too big, This brings up resize handles, you can then drag the picture from one of its corners to make it smaller.

I have reduced the sizes of the pictures in Microsoft Word and then created a PDF file. 264KB in size.
