Well, one thing that would help a bit when printing from Internet Explorer is going to 'Page Setup' and setting the right/left margins at 0.
I suspect the problem you were having with copying & pasting everything at once was also an issue with the sites' design, rather than anything on your end.
Regarding Netscape, the latest version is a great piece of software, but I still prefer IE (though I
really wish they'd add tabbed browsing like other browsers have). Netscape = Netscape Navigator = Netscape Communicator -it's been called all 3 in different versions of the program.
I wouldn't be caught dead using an ISP that requires you to use their software to go online (besides, MSN is tiny here) so I don't have experience with MSN, but I believe you can just sign in using MSN then open Netscape and it should work fine.
