Print out the online tutorials

[mhughes]

Thought I would post this for any who may be interested in saving the tips posted as "View" (Latest Online Tutorials & Articles)

I am very pleased with deciding to print out the new "Brush & Blend" by Larry Becker just posted this morning to use as a handy reference.

Using my Mac's "command-shift-4" stroke, I took a snapshot of the area I wanted a picture of. This eliminates the sidebars with their ads, etc.

I ended up with 7 pages of snapshots in Preview.
I experimented copying & pasting on both Word & AppleWorks. Either one works great. Now I've finished the printing & will use the 3-hole punch to insert the new tips In the notebook I'm keeping the Elements magazine in.

It saves quite a bit of ink to not print out the whole page & has the added benefit of being neat & tidy looking.

You are Mac Mary and I guess I am PC Mary :)

In Internet Explorer I drag my mouse down the middle of the page - leaving the sidebars unselected - then I go to Print | Selection and ended up with 7 pages also.

I am so glad we have both Mac and Windows input to our questions on this board! It makes for a lot more good ideas I think.

Mary...(the PC one)

After reading your post, I opened IE & drug the mouse down the middle of the page as you did, but my mouse only selected the text...no pictures. Do you suppose the difference would be in the mouse, or mice?

How did you select the pictures?

Hi Mac Mary

When I dragged the mouse down it took everything including the pictures. I hope some of the other Mac people (Wendy or ??) have an answer about the mouse. I haven't used a Mac for a year or more and I used an optical PC type mouse with it.

Will be interested in hearing more.

Mac Mary & PC Mary ( :lol: )

I use the same method as PC Mary to copy the tutorials - highlight the page with the mouse, left click, select Copy and it copies the text and pictures (spot the edit eh :oops:) . Actually it also brings over the table formatting as well...

The mouse shouldn't make any difference, but PC vc MAC may be different - I am a PC user with no MAC experience...

Perhaps Wendy can throw some light on it when she's back... :wink:
