Doesnt the "Print" button work?
You could copy and paste the recipe into "word" if you have it and then print it off.
It's Word for me - Printing from the site always prints the whole thread.
Tim, I find that (1) dragging the cursor over just the text of the recipe to "select" what you want, then (2) clicking on the printer icon and (3)clicking on the "selection" button works just fine.
1. If I highlight & then 'print' I get the whole block.
2. If I highlight & right click for 'print' I get the same.
Where does the 3. Select bit come in?
You need to highlight the text you want then click on file and print. When the box comes up click on selection - it's about half way down on the left and then click print. I just tried it on what you wrote and it worked.
Ah - all is revealed!!
Couldn't even find file for quite a while. What a strange way around.
My way would be to highlight the text/pictures/diagrams etc., copy and paste to Open Office then save as .pdf. You then have a fixed file which can be printed at any size (A4, A5, A6 or whatever). If you printed recipes at A6 and laminated them you would have a nice set of recipe cards.
I do mine exactly the same as Wicker and Bluey do - in fact, print off anything that way when I just want something specific and not pages and pages of non-relevant stuff
