I am a fairly new user of IE5. When I want to print a page or two of a web site or change the printer I wish to print to, I click on the print button in IE5, my printer box doesn't pop up, all of the pages are sent directly to the printer. I cannot control it from the print button. The only way I can select the pages I want to print and the printer I wish to use, is to go thru the file menu and select print, then my printer box pops up and I can make my selections such as pages to print or the printer to use. Is this the default of IE% or is there a setting I can change?<br><br>Fran

Another new feature that the added to ie5 is to select highligted texts and just print that texts.&nbsp;&nbsp;What you do is highlight the portion of the screen that contains the webpage that you want and then rightclick the mouse and click on the print button in the pop up menu then in the print menu and choose &quot;selected text&quot;.<br><br>hope this helps<br><br> <p>moses<br><a href=mailto:tmoses@iname.com>tmoses@iname.com</a><br><a href= my site</a><br> "We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the<br>
