PRINT WHAT YOUWANT‘Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 offers several new print options. Let’s say you’re visiting a site with multiple frames and you’d like to print the whole thing just as it appears on the screen. Choose File, Print, and when the Print dialog box opens, look at the bottom portion. There you’ll see an area labeled Print Frames.
In the Print Frames area, you can select exactly
what you want to print. If you select As Laid Out On Screen, your printout will look just like the Web page you’re printing. If you select Only the Selected Frame, that’s all you’ll get printed—just the frame that’s currently selected. If you select All Frames Individually, you’ll get a printed page for each frame displayed at the Web site.
After you make your selection, click OK to continue with the printing operation.
‘LAN SAFETY‘
When you access the Internet from a computer that’s attached to a network, you need to turn off file- and printer-sharing while you surf the Internet. The problem is that when you’re connected to the Internet while on an active network, you’re making the entire network available to the ISP.
Although the chances that someone will access your network are small, there is still a chance. The best approach is to turn off the sharing before you log on to the Internet. Microsoft Internet Explorer 3 will prompt you to turn off sharing unless you’ve already told it to stop issuing the warning.

VIEW IT YOUR WAY‘In‘ "Microsoft Internet Mail‘, you can choose whether to use a preview pane or not. To make the choice, choose View, Preview Pane and select from None, Split Vertically, or Split Horizontally. If you elect to use the preview pane, you can also decide whether you want to view the header information in the preview pane (From, To, Subject). Choose View, Preview Pane and select Header Information. When Header Information is checked, selecting it turns off the feature. When it’s not checked, selecting it turns it on.

THE WHOLE ENCHILADA"Along with the new printing options we discussed in the previous tip, Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 also lets you choose whether to print those Web page backgrounds. Choose View, Internet Options and click the Advanced tab. Scroll down the list of options and locate Printing. There you’ll see a check box labeled Print Background Colors and Images. If you want to print the backgrounds, select the check box. If you don’t want to print the backgrounds, deselect the check box. When you’re finished, click OK.
‘TARGET PRACTICE‘
There are two types of pictures on Web pages:
There are pictures that are just pictures, and there are pictures that are also links. You can copy either kind to your hard disk. All you need to do is right-click the picture and choose Save Picture As. When the picture is only a picture, the available commands are Save Picture As, Set as Wallpaper, Copy, and Properties. But when the picture is also a link, the other commands on the menu are enabled.
Also, when the picture is a link, the mouse pointer changes into a hand when you move it over the picture. If there’s no link involved, the mouse pointer remains unchanged.
