Can any one tell me how to print off the articles that are relevant to me. I have tried and the printing is either too small or is all wonky . Thank you for any help. :-)

When I want to save newspaper articles from the Newspaper Archive (not on this site), I save them as a photograph, and can then print them off.

I use the snipping tool Janet. I enlarge the text and move it so that I have just the title and date of the publication and my article/announcement, then save as a photo.

I am not very good at explaining things like this Janet, but maybe someone else on here can. Google snipping tool and see what you think. I have found it excellent for saving all the BMD announcements etc.
Hope you can work something out because I know what you mean and found the same until someone on here mentioned the snipping tool.

Another method that may work.

If it's the same as FindMyPast you can save it by right clicking on the image. You can then crop the image after opening it in Windows photo gallery or paint.

Glad you sorted it Janet. I love that I can so easily have the title and date included with the information :-)

I tried that, Joy, but it still printed the whole page (this is FMP). So I highlighted it and then copied and pasted it to an offline programme that would print it.

It took a while to work it out, but it's working fine.
