How do I print part of a long email or web page?

Paste the part you want into a Microsoft Word document and print that. To do this, start Word and then repeat the following steps as often as necessary.

• Focus on the email/WWW window (by clicking somewhere in it) and highlight a section that you want.

• Select ``Copy'from that window's File menu. Nothing visible will happen, but the text you highlighted will be copied to the clipboard. On a PC you can confirm this by opening the Clipboard Viewer.

• Focus on the Word window and select Paste from that window's File menu. The text you highlighted will appear in the Word window.
