Converting webpages for your own use:  Fall 2007

I'm setting up the class daily webpages so if you just want to print the homework assignment, print only page 1 (usually that's enough).  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..   Netscape 8 or later seem to manage better.
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 save the webpage from the web to your disk:
In your browser, do File>Save Page as. (Webpage, complete, to get images as well as text.)  To see it later, go to the file icon in a directory, click on it.  If you want to edit it and have an editor, you can click the icon with the right mouse button, and choose Edit from the resulting menu.

If you have Netscape 7, or Mozilla Composer, (or another webpage editor) you can alter the page.
To put your name on a page before printing:
(Netscape 7 or Mozilla)
In your browser, do File>Edit page
   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.
