How to extract text from web page?

Printing out selected text from a web page - text not realigning to fit page?

  • I want to print selected text from a page of a website and it is printing out "as is" on the screen instead of realigning to fit on the printed page. Up to now on this same website I have been able to print the text on the pages with it realigned in the print-out, but recently I have not been able to do this. I don't know the reason for this change but I would like to know how to change it back. This is the website I was trying to print the text from: http://www.huevaluechroma.com/index.php This isn't the first time the text from a web page has not realigned on the print-out but this time it is on a site which I was previously able to print it out realigned for the page.

  • Answer:

    I went to the web site, copied some of the text and pasted it into a word processor. When I printed it, it came out aligned just fine.
