Comment: This article was one of the clearest in explanation in regard to a computer issue that I have read online.
Question: Is there anyway to highlight a section of a webpage then go further down and hightlight another section when in between the two there would be no highlighting (because I didn't want to save the info in between the two highlighted sections)? For example when I left click and highlight a section of the page, then release the mouse, move down the page and try to highlight another section, the first section un-highlights itself.

I use Clipmarks, a Firefox extension that allows sections of webpages to be printed, emailed, saved, or posted to blog (http://clipmarks.com). If I copy and paste into a word processor, I use Google docs (http://docs.google.com) - it's faster and easier than Word.

Canon has a printer toolbar for their printers.(avaliable on line)that allows portions of web pages to be printed. It does not work in IE 7. I have not tried it in firefox.

We use office 2007 in the office, and have lost the function to be able to highlight text adn then print just the selection as a result of this upgrade. Whilst it's great to have some work arounds doesn't it just been pointless that we have to do these things? Surely to be able to print selection is key in todays paper saving society!

I like to use Firefox plug-ins like "Screen Grabber" to capture a long page, however I have never been able to capture just portions of a page and I haven't been able to get "help" to see how a plug-in works. Is this true of all plug-ins?
