Printing

When you print a page, the left-hand menu will not appear on the printed output. This allows the main content of the page to fit on to a standard A4 sheet.

Please note that any browser that does not support this feature of CSS (such as Netscape 4) will print the left-hand menu, and as a result the page may not fit on to an A4 sheet, depending on how your browsers printing preferences are set.

If you experience "clipping", whereby some of the document is missing from the side of the page, please check your 'Page Setup' or 'Printing Preferences' and reduce your page margins to 5-10mm (this only needs to be done once - not every time you print).
