This is realy an HTML question but I thought this is the only place where I can get the answer. I am building a website and making extensive use of tables, as most people do. I want to set my table width so my documents will print OK without the ends being chopped off. I tried differnt widths (730, 720, 710 Pixels) but the text still get chopped off at the right side. When I do not use tables and I put the same text between paragraph tags it prints OK. Is there any table proporties that will allow printing the text without losing the right side? Kinda of word wrap or somthing.
Thanks,
Mo |

I hope there is an answer to this printing problem, I have the same problem with IE and a network printer. It is very annoying, and it happens with pages I can view just fine. I printed out a many-page set of instructions on installing a Linux program, but the printout is useless, it's missing maybe 10-15% of the RH area of the page.

Have you tried percentages instead of widths in pixels ?
I've a couple of pages I've written which are just big tables that seem to print fine for me, maybe I've just been lucky though.

You can also try using CSS to set printing widths. I haven't messed with it much so I won't be of much help, but here's a link to get you started: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/
There's an @media rule you can use where one of the media types is print.

If You have set the table in pixels it can´t be wider than 550 pixels, thats the limit for printing out the page.
