Hi

I don't know if this has been mentioned before or not but I was printing out some of the maintenance guides last night and noticed that if you click the 'print' option it hides all of the images and provides you with text-only versions to print. This makes sense in one respect but where the images are embedded as part of the article it can be quite frustrating.

I copied the article into MSWord and then spent some time rearranging as the cut-n-paste had inherited the tables layout which did not fit into the document for print.

In short, and out of interest, is there a way of enabling images in message content but keeping the rest hidden? Does the 'print' function launch a separate print stylesheet for the site or is it literally an image free interpretation of the article?

I personally use the 'open in MS Word' to print articles.

Both IE6 and FF make a right mess of just printing article.

The Print function of the software doesn't process most of the tags, so won't display pictures

Not a site option.

Go to page you want to print, and copy URL

Open MS Word, then File > Open and paste entire URL into Open File box and click Open.  Then you have that page in Word.  You can resize pics to fit page (or get Word to do it itself), then simply print

Awesome, I'll give it a whirl!

I just select everything, copy it, then paste it into Word, no resizing.

That's what I like, copy and paste, I can manage that.
