Printer Friendly threads

The electronic ignition thread reminded me- When there's a lot of good info in a thread, I sometimes just print the whole thing, rather than writing down the info. There used to be a feature on here called "Printer Friendly" that would take out a bunch of the extraneous stuff so you didn't use up all your paper (and ink!) when you printed it- but I can't seem to find it now.

Does anybody know if there is still a way to do that?

    I like that "Printer Friendly" idea Mike. I didn't know it existed before. I could have use that months ago when I started from the very first post to the present copying good information. Like you said, it used up alot of paper and ink but it was worth it.

    I did find alot of great info from the past and fortunately for all us it is still there for our benefit.

    Thank you to all that have contributed useful information to this forum. It is a great leaning experience.

    Have a great day.

    Open an MS Word document. Highlight the material you want to save. Ctrl "c". Put the cursor on the MS Word page. Ctrl "v". Done.

    Looks like both of those methods would work.

    Don't know why I didn't think about the cut and paste to Word doc- I do it all the time at work, just have trouble thinking of working in internet and Word at the same time, I guess. Looks like that might be best, because there are always a lot of "thanks for the tip" type posts in the threads, and the meat is only in a few of the posts. With Adobe, its all or nothing- it won't let you delete any posts.

    Thanks to all.

    Good point on Word, I use it as well (senior moment when posting earlier).
    Further advise: If you do not have MS Office/Word ($$), just about any good freeware/shareware word processing program will do something similiar - or you can use WordPad as well (part of 'Accessories' in the last 3-4 generations of MS Windows) - although it doesn't pull images into the documents.[/quote]

    Good Lord, Rick...you can even paste it to a blank email, print the email and then discard it. This isn't rocket science, as they say up the road in Los Alamos...:woohoo:
