Print Selected Text From the Web

November 19th, 2008

Have you ever visited a website and wanted just a bit of content from the page, but ended up printing the whole web page?

Well most users are not aware that they can actually print off just a selection of text. So instead they end up wasting tons of paper printing a whole web site when they could have just printed off the part they needed.

OK, so here is how you can print off a selection of text from a web page.

  • Select the text you want to print, by clicking the mouse and highlighting the text.
  • Right-click on the selected text and choose “Print”
  • On the print dialog, under “Page Range”, check the option called “Selection”

That will just print off your selected text. Now you can save paper and save time!
