Best way to print a web page?
On my web site I'd like to have a forum similar to this one. One problem that I have here is that when I print a CC thread with Ctrl+P, much extraneous material is also printed (all of the navigation bar links, all of the links at the bottom, etc.). I notice that many web sites have a "Print this page" option that prints only the relevant information. Is this possible with VSD? If not, is there a work-around. Any solution would also have to work with other (i.e., non-forum) web pages.
(I realize that I could highlight the desired section and then print only that selection. However, this isn't a very clean solution and the result still may not be acceptable.)
Thanks,
Don Culp

You set up a print CSS style to print only the text.

I would like to print any graphics that are contained within the body text. Will these methods do this or will they only print the text?
Can this be implemented directly with VSD? If so, what is the general method?

You can set up a print CSS any way you want. Print or not print whatever you feel like, you just have to set the objects up that way in the CSS following the guides I directed you to. I'm not sure how you would include a print CSS in VSD.

HTML tool, then edit header html.
