Printing Suggestions

November 2008

Printing the Glossary

The Glossary is divided into many small files in order to speed up the downloading of the glossary items you want. You could print each page separately. However, if you want to print the entire Glossary, we suggest you go to the Glossary Index, select the link to Retrieve Complete Glossary for Printing , and print this directly. It is a large file which takes approximately 15 pages to print using font size of 9.

Printing data pages

For more extensive control over the appearance of the printed Profile, we suggest you use the Custom Report feature and retrieve your data in Excel.

To print a Campus Profile page successfully in portrait from your web browser, the on-screen font size must be set to a point size of 7. This allows your browser to print a full page in portrait without clipping off some of data near the right margin. Not all browsers support such a small font, so you may be forced to use landscape orientation. In addition, you may wish to change the default font color to black and the background to white to get a crisper printout.

Firefox 1.5.0.8 and 2.0
Select Tools/Options/Content/Fonts & Colors.

Change the background to white
Under "Always use my", select "Colors"
Click on "OK" until you return to the main viewscreen. Your screen colors should be black on white.

Under "Always use my", select "Colors"
Click on "OK" until you return to the main viewscreen. Your screen colors should be black on white.

Internet Explorer v. 6.0
IE does not support a font small enough to print Portrait. If you must use IE you will need to print in landscape.

View/Textsize/Smaller: changes the font to smaller
File/Page Setup/: change the orientation to landscape and the margins to .25.
Tools/Internet options/Colors: change the text color to black and the background to white, and select "Use Windows colors"

We suggest you use "Print Preview" from the "File" menu to check your page layout before printing.

We welcome suggestions on other ways to print these pages.
