thank you for your help

Answer 1

Highlight the material you want and copy it into the clip board by right clicking the mouse and selecting copy. Open a program like microsoft word or even a simple text editor like notepad. Paste the information you'd like in there and print that.

Answer 2

From Jason-Left click and drag over the area you want to print. This will highlight it. Now right click and select print. when your print box opens click "selection".

My trouble was I could not consistently get the box to come up to give me the chance to click the selection. I found out if I highlighted and then clicked print preview,[It will show you as if it is going to print everything]
Then click Print it will give me the box every time to click selection.
If it does start printing to many pages turn off the printer or remove the stack of paper.

Assuming you are on windows, highlight only what you want to print. Next, go to the "file" tab on the top left of the screen, then select print. On the lower left portion of the pop-up, check print from "selection" and hit print. Have a nice day!

Highlight the section and instead of hitting the printer icon, go to file, print, click on the section option instead of the all option.
