Re: printer friendly pages in a website

Hi David,

I went back into my website publication and it is actually using a default
page size of 760 wide by 4608px long, and yet it still is cutting off the
page width. I would really prefer not to have a seperate publication to worry
about updatng (printer friendly publication), as the website I have requires
frequent updates and so would be labour intensive updating both publications.
Margin guides are set at 0" is this my problem?

Though you can do the first, personally, I think the later is your best
choice.

Using a second Pub file to produce your print friendly html pages and
uploading those to a subfolder on your host will be easier to produce, and
easier to manage. You can resize the width of the page so it will print on
8.5 if you use a new Pub file. You can only have one page width per Pub
file. You can layout your print content in a more print friendly format and
discard those design elements that you don't want to print.

The bigger your site gets, the more you should use separate Publisher files
to build your website, and publishing to subfolders on your host to keep
your html and image files, download files, etc. organized and easier to
manage.

I might also add, that this is one of the reasons that I still use a fixed
760 pixel width for my pages. It seems that as long as the page is 800
pixels or less in width...or so, then it will be "print friendly" in that it
will all print on 8.5 inch paper. I like the way my 760 pixel width page
prints...has good margins on the page. I don't bother trying to break my
site up into 11" long pages for printing purposes. I tend to use long pages
and when you print them you do get all the content...you just can't control
where the printer will break the page and start a new one. I decided that as
long as all the content would print on 8.5 stock paper, that was good
enough. Besides, anything that I really think someone would want to print, I
provide it as a PDF file (also contained in a subfolder). That way I really
can control the print version.

I guess my point is, that though its possible to include your print friendly
pages into your one Pub file, I think you will find it much better in the
long run to start using subfolders on your website, and additional Pub files
to build your site.

Just my opinion ;-)

I have created a website in Win XP Publisher 2007, and would like to make
"Printer Friendly pages". Can I place these printer friendly pages
(8"x11")
in my web publication, and then link to them from the web publication and
back from the printer frendly publication to the webpage... or do I just
set
up another publication with the printer friendly pages and link to and
from
them to the website?
