Reading Online

Do you ever read newspaper and magazine articles online? If so, you know its not always easy to do with all the graphics and special formatting they use. Here is a tip that will make reading those articles a little easier. Many such articles have a link titled “Printer Friendly,” or something similar. Even if you have no intention of printing the article, click on that link and it will remove the graphics and special formatting and make the article easier to read.

If you ever want to save a copy of the "printer friendly" article hold down the Ctrl key and press the “A” key to highlight the entire article. Then hold down the Ctrl key and press the “C” key to copy the entire article. Open a new document in your word processor and locate your cursor where you want the article to appear in the new document. Then hold down the Ctrl key and press the “V” key to paste the article into the document. Finally, save the file to a directory of your choice.

This is how the process works using Windows XP. Even if you use a different operating system try it to see if it works for you.
