    Default Page size on web site for printing

    Hi

    I have a monthly events calendar on an A4 page which i can put on my
    web site fine [text & graphics]. However, when someone goes on-line
    and tries to print it, it requires 6 or 7 pages rather than printing
    on just 1 page.

    What do i need to do to my cal before i up-load it so that it will
    print on 1 page.

    Page created using Front Page

    Using pub 2000 to create the cal

    I would leave it showing on your web page but make it a downloadable pdf
    file.

    Thanks Don
    But I know most of my contacts don't know/have/use pdf, i've tried to
    send them .pdf before and they couldn't open it

    I was thinking about a jpeg or gif so as they could just print it

    Whenever you offer a pdf file it would be helpful if you stated it takes the
    FREE Adobe Reader to display it. Also, you could provide reference to the
    download site and/or include the Adobe icon link. pdf is the accepted means
    to share documents... Everybody has the means to get it. It's a must have
    and readily available.

    There is a burden on the provider of the pdf file -- S/he needs a program to
    create it.
    Most folks don't need the very spendy Adobe Acrobat. An excellent
    substitute, PDF-XChange does a great job and can be obtained at:

    to pdf format you are invited to visit our lodge site at:

    Files created in 2004 are PDF-XChange version 3.0. Prior years are version

    Printing a web page is not an art nor a science, it's a complete guessing
    game.
    Even if you make the page a fixed width at a mere 700 pixels wide it can
    still vary widely by browser.
    As a web designer if you think the page needs to be printed it is best to
    provide a means, and as Don pointed out that is widely .pdf.
    As a web visitor the best results are typically achieved by going into the
    browsers print setup and setting it to landscape mode and changing all
    margins to the smallest value the browser allows.

    OK Don, I've decided to go the .pdf route. i can make my page a .pdf
    file and up-load it fine. But how do i make the Adobe icon image
    stick, it appears on my web page as [Ad Image]

    I'm fairly new to all this and I'm using Front Page to design my page

    The way I added the Adobe Reader icon (link) was to find it, right click on
    it, go to the web page under construction, right click, paste.

    One place the Adobe Reader icon link can be found at the bottom of the Il
    Messaggio Archive page is:
