How to print full Public Health webpages without the right side of the page cutting off

By default, most Internet browsers set their printing margins to 0.75" on the left and right side of the printout. Left at this setting, if you print any of our webpages, part of the right side of the webpage will be cut off.

To print the full width of our pages, just use your page options to adjust the margins to 0.25" in both the left and right margins before printing.

How to print Public Health webpage content only without navigation bars and banners

If you'd like to print our webpage content but want to save your ink cartridge by not printing the left side navigation bar or our photographic banner at the top of the page, here's a quick and easy method by just using your mouse:

1. Let's say we just want to print the first question and answer from the Asbestos Fact Sheet at www.metrokc.gov/health/hazard/asbestos.htm

Using your mouse, place your cursor at the beginning of the first word, then while keeping your mouse button down, drag your mouse to the lower right of the text you want printed so that it highlights. For example:

example of selecting web content by clicking and dragging

2. Next, use your Internet browser's controls to print only your selected text. For example, in Internet Explorer, go to the menu and press File, Print. In the Print options dialog menu that appears, in the "Print range" section, click the option called, "Selection" then press the OK button. It will print only your selected text and graphics (if graphics are adjacent in your text selection) and ignore everything else outside your selection.

That's it!
