    Printing from internet
    « on: June 24, 2009, 11:25:15 AM »
    I am trying to select parts of a web page and print them.  When I highlight them and go to file print, the selection option is not available.  I have done this before and it worked fine. It also works in word and excel.   Any suggestions?

      That's exactly what I meant :)

      Can you tell me what steps you take to try to print a selection?

        I left click the part I want to print and highlight it, the I go to file, select print and where you can pick page, selection, ect I want to pick selection but it is grayed out. and then end up printing the entire page.

        What if you right click on what you have selected and choose print?

            I know that it works in 8, I was kind of hoping to spare you the headaches though.
