You will often be required to read text online. You may find it easier to read a printed version of the online text, rather than reading it on the screen. You can PRINT the text from Netscape (or other browsers), however, I would recommend that you consider copying it to your Word Processor and then print it. This gives you greater control over how it prints (fonts, margins, spacing). To copy, select "Edit" from the top menu bar of your browser, then "Select All...", then select "Edit" again, then "Copy". You can open your word processor at the same time as Netscape. Once your word processor is on the screen, open a new and blank document, then select "Edit" and "Paste". Now you can format, save and print the file. If you are reading a lot of text on your computer screen, you can temporarily change the FONT SIZE on your computer to make it easier to read. For Netscape, hold the <Ctrl> (Control) key down and at the same time press the < ] > (right bracket) key to make the font Larger, and press < [ > (left bracket) key to make the font Smaller. I do not know how to do this in MS Internet Explorer, but I am sure that it can be done. You can also permanently change the FONT STYLE and SIZE that is used in Netscape by selecting "Options" from the top bar, then "General Preferences", then "Fonts". Note that making the font Larger this way will make things easier to read on the screen, but will result in your using a lot more paper to print text out. Selecting a smaller Variable Width font (like 9 point) will save a lot of ink and paper when you print, but will make things very small on your screen -- you can temporarily make it larger, however, using the < Ctrl > + < ] > command described above.
