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?

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!

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.

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.

First a comment, then a question.
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.

Help.
I print from Outlook and regardless of what size or length the email is there is always a blank page that comes out at the end. I am running on Office 2003. Is it my printer settings, page setting?

As mentioned in the article, and in subsequent comments, Print Selection is not always available.

I did not see the information that Eric gave and your response to him before I sent my solution. Selection and Current Page are usually greyed out. Once I select a portion that I want to print Selection will not be grayed out and can be checked. I assumed that the Page Range in the General Tab of Print was universal a part of Windows. I did not know that it is not available for all applications

The gentleman wants to print just a PORTION of an e-mail or web page. This happens to me regularly as I do not want to print all of the clutter that sometimes acompanies an e-mail or especially a webpage.
I use an HP LaserJet black and white 2420dn printer.
The solution is simple
Highlight only the the portion that you want to print. Click on File then Print on the top menu bar. In the General tab in the Page Range area are four selections, All, Selection, Curent Page and Pages. Check Selection. Click Print.
Only the part that you have selected will be printed

Consider a screen capture utility. A freeware capture utility would probably be satisfactory but if you want all the bells and whistles buy SnagIt.

Another method that could work is getting the part of web page/e-mail that you want to print visible in your browser, then pressing Ctrl + Print Screen to copy it to the clipboard. Then open a photo editing program such as MS Paint, and paste it onto that. You can then erase the unwanted part of the web page/e-mail, and then print that document in paint! This method won't work if you need to print more than will fit in you browser at one time, though.

Quite awake thank you. :-)

You'll note "Selection" a) isn't available in all applications, and b) is greyed out greyed out in the example in the article because the application didn't support it for the type of document being displayed.

It's great if it works, and you're right I should have mentioned it, but my experience has been that it's not actually available often enough.

I've updated the article to reflect this. Thanks for pointing it out.

Why didn't my whole post go through? Trying again...

Hmmmm.... Leo? Are you awake? :)

Highlight what you want either with the mouse or with the menu bar. Select print from the menu bar. A print window appears. Look at the bottom left of the print window. Select "selection" or "current page." Now, left click the bottom of the print menu to "print."

Voila!

Eric
