Phil,
You don't give the person reading your email much info to go on. What
Operating system are you using? Mac? Linux? Microsoft Windows? Windows,
what version? 95? 98? ME? XP? What is your email client? Outllook?
Outlook Express? Netscape Communicator? Eudora?
If you are using a basic Windows machine, the information below is somewhat
generic.
In the window with the "extra-wide" text or text plus graphics etc. you want
to print, right-click anywhere on the page and then select "select All" and
click. That loads the page into a "cache" and will be waiting there for you
to put it somewhere.
Now you want to put that page "somewhere."
Go to Start, Programs, Accessories, WordPad, and click. WordPad is a
pre-loaded word processing program that MS Windows puts in all their current
operating systems.
After the WordPad window opens up, right-click on the blank page and click
Paste.
That is what we call "Copy and Paste" or "Cut and Paste"
If you have MS Word, you can open a MS Word window and paste the other page
there. Same with any other Word Processor program. If the page you want to
print is a picture, JPG or GIF etc. you can copy and paste into a Graphics
program like Photoshop or Illustrator. I think MS puts a "Paint" program in
their Windows OS for graphics. I have never used it so I can't testify as
to that program's usefulness.
Anyway, after you cut & paste, the info is in a different window using a
different type of program and you can modify it to fit the shape and size
you desire..
Then you can print the page.
Hope this helps.
