Printing puzzles
Can anyone advise me about the following:
When I print a puzzle, sometimes the printer drags a second page. What are the convenient definitions in 8x8, 9x9, 10x10 and 12x12 to obtain the larger image in only one page?

You are using the print function, right? (i.e. you click the print icon) Because even for the 12x12 I have plenty of space left on the page. Patrick

Re: Printing puzzles
Patrick, isn't it possible to print the 15x15 puzzle from the book in one sole page? And eventual future puzzles?

Re: Printing puzzles
I don't have a printer at home, so I have to use the public library printer, which offers only the internet explorer browser. To get the large-sized puzzle printouts for 9x9 and 10x10, I specify the print page 2 option. This way you get the whole puzzle on one page, but without the header.
To get a large-size 12x12, I get the puzzle to have medium-sized cells on the website. Then I copy the puzzle from website to a word document, specifying narrow margins.
I hope this makes sense and is useful to you.

Re: Printing puzzles
hi cecileb,
thanks for the pointers. I'll take a look at how the puzzles are printed from IE, both to A4 and Letter sized paper (Letter sized paper being common in the US (and Mexico, Canada?), A4 in the rest of the world), and see if I can make it so the puzzles print to one page without having to fiddle with anything (which is what's supposed to happen..)
Patrick

Re: Printing puzzles
I did some checks and made some changes, the puzzles should now all print to 1 page (IE/Firefox/etc., A4/Letter/etc.) Patrick pnm wrote: thanks for the pointers. I'll take a look at how the puzzles are printed from IE, both to A4 and Letter sized paper
