One of the great things about a TabletPC is the ability to save the contents
of a Web page (or other files you are viewing) by "printing" to the Journal
Note Writer so that it can be read later when you have more time and
annotated in Windows Journal. However, I find that part of the text on the
right side of some web pages (e.g., MS TechNet) is cut off in the document
image that is saved to Journal, which makes it useless. Has anybody figured
out a way to avoid this problem? Tnx,



Gerry

Change the page size when you print...

I have seen this problem when printing many web sites to a regular
printer as well. I believe it is a problem of poor web site design and a
bug in Internet Explorer. I have even had this problem when printing to
the Adobe Acrobat printer driver so it must have to do with the data that
is being sent to the driver from IE. My 'solution' has always been to
switch to landscape mode when 'printing' these pages. I have tried every
combination of page size, font size, and reduction possible but it just
never works unless you switch to printing in landscape mode.

Swithching to landscape works GREAT. Finally! Problem solved. Thanks.

Yep. Well known IE bug.

Another tip I've picked up is to go into IE and type "&b&b" (without the
quotes) in the footer section of page setup, which centers the message on
the page. I've never had the problem, so I can't test this, but it fixed
right edge cutoff for the person who posted the tip.
