Printing with the Browser

can we avoid text cut-off, no matter how wide the screen?

Is there a way that no matter how wide your web pages are that when you print it from your browser the pages wrap so the text isn't cut off?

The best approach I know is not to fix the width of your pages to start with -- go with what is called "liquid" or "fluid" design. Then the browser will automatically wrap the text to the available width of the printed page.

A site search here [searchengineworld.com] on liquid design will give you a good resource.

You can also employ a seperate style sheet that applies page and text formatting for printing, using the media="print" tag.

Again, a site search for this or a browse through the CSS forum [webmasterworld.com] will lead you to some more detailed information.

I just copy and paste the text into an editor :)
