Converting webpages for your own use:  Fall 2005

I'm setting up the class daily webpages so if you just want to print the homework assignment, print only page 1.  Print the whole thing if you want the notes.

To make it print "normal" size:  Netscape 7 may use the same size on the printed page as on the screen--may be quite "wrong"  Do File>Print Preview.  If print's too big:  In top bar, make Scale 80% to change default font size 16 to a shade bigger than "normal" 12, or Custom to choose more finely..
Alternatively, in Netscape 7, do Edit>Preferences|Appearance>Fonts. At the right, change Size(Pixels) boxes to 12 (from 16?)for Proportional, to10 (from 13?) for Monospace.  Then print.   Change the size back unless you want your screen to have teeny print.

 In Explorer, View>Text size can be used to change size on screen and printed page together.

To put your name on a page before printing:
In your browser, do File>Edit page  (If you're using MSExplorer on a Wells machine, it'll go into the Netscape editor)
   You'll be in Netscape Composer: sort of like a word processor, only it creates HTML code--what Net browsers read.
       You can delete (e.g.the bottom boilerplate), add your name to top/bottom, without knowing much. 
(You can't get Print Preview from Composer.  Do File>Browse Page to see it in Netscape browser, where you can preview, change size)
        You can save the changed version, or abandon it after printing.

To save the webpage from the web to your disk:
In your browser, do File>Save as.  To see it later, go to the file icon in a directory, click on it.  If you want to edit it, you can click the icon with the right mouse button, and choose Edit from the resulting menu.
(The editor is called Netscape Composer, and can be loaded directly from the programs menu)
