11. Print Friendly 
 
   •  Create & link print friendly versions of your web pages when appropriate. 

   •  Place the following Internal Cascading Style Sheet in the head section of the Web page you 
do not wish to be printed. Note: Generally you would not force the non printing of a page, after all it 
is not your ink; however, when you know the majority of your visitors are students using school 
printers it seems wise to force them to conserve printer ink/toner supplies and save printer time 
(print friendly versions usually print much faster). 
 
    <style type="text/css" media="print"> 
    body { display: none; } 
    </style>

   •  There are many ways to produce a print friendly version of a web page, after all it's just a 
stripped down version of your page. I often use the HTML tag "<pre> </pre>" as in preformatted 
on an unembellished blank Web page and then cut & paste the formatted text from the source 
document to the area inside the tags. You have to manually insert line feed, carriage returns where 
you wish then to occur in the print friendly version, but that's a relatively quick procedure. The
Internal Cascading Style Sheet I generally use to specify the characteristics for the pre tag follows. 
Insert it into the head section of the Web Page using FrontPage's Code view.
 
    <style type="text/css"> 
    pre {font-family:"arial";font-size:11pt;color:#000000} 
    </style> 

  •  Remember to use the browser's Print Preview to see what the page will look like when printed!
