Yes I tried that & know HTML & the width change didn't work there either.

Thanks George. I tried the landscape thing also but it wouldn't be practicle for the entire manual. Thanks for your input (and support).

OK, seems we have a problem. Sheltraw, forgive me for being terse earlier. I'm overworked and stressed out.

QUESTION: There are 5 HTM documents that comprise the Hoster manual. Which ones are you having problems printing?

[sheltraw]

Apology accepted. It appears that I have problems with all of them.
Thanks,
Jim

Here is what we are finding.

If you are using Internet Explorer 7.0 or FireFox Browsers, select Print Preview, then select "Shrink to Fit", not 100%. This will resize to print everything on each page, including the right table border.

If you are using IE 6 or prior, I don't have a fix.

I have looked at the raw HTML code, and I can't find any reason why it is not working right, except for 100% won't format correctly in the Browsers.

ADMIN:

I'm using IE6. Tried IE7 and too many files suddenly became inaccessable hidden files, so I went back to 6. Would not recommend 7 to anyone other than the casual user. It wouldn't even let my VSC midi player access the Temporary Internet folder to play a midi while on line.

Too much "Big Brother" watching out for us going on with Microsoft.

I don't print the manuals anymore, so it's not a problem here, just thought to confirm one way or another.

What a futile mission this has become. Is there anyone out there who CAN print the manual for Hoster 3.316 that would be willing to do so, and send it to me? I would be happy to reimburse you for your time and materials. If so please contact me at jsheltraw@dc.rr.com.

Appearantly this option has not been considered by MTU or I would be hearing something other than "we can't help any further" or "I don't have a fix". Please excuse my "attitude" but I'm a bit peeved that I didn't get what I payed for, namely Hoster 3.316 software AND a MANUAL that tells me how to run it.

You have the Manual on the computer with interactive links to get around in it. Is there some reason why you have to have a printed copy?
If you don't have IE7 then upgrade to it and you can print it with the shrink to fit setting that Admin listed. George has a specific problem with another program and IE7, but most people won't see that kind of problem.

You could always try to copy and paste the text into a word document to format it and print it. I make no guarantees as I don't work for Microsoft or MTU for that matter, but it can't hurt to try.
