Tip of the day: Stop wasting paper when printing Web pages

Sometimes you want to print just part of a Web page, but clicking the Print button spits out page after page of information you don’t want or need. Here’s an easy solution that works the same in Internet Explorer and Firefox:

  • Use your mouse to select the text you want to print. 
  • Click File, Print. (Don’t use the Print button!) In the Print dialog box, look for the area labeled Page Range and choose the Selection option.

If the Selection option is grayed out, you forgot to make a selection. Click Cancel and try again.
