Hello Arvid,

Here is one way of doing that:

Create a Text Object, and put some text in it along the lines of 'Print this page' or something similar.

Highlight this text with your mouse, then click on the 'Insert Link' icon on the edit toolbar directly above (it's the one with the little picture of a chain link).  In the new window which opens select 'Print page' from the 'Action' menu.

Click 'OK' to exit and save.

Kind regards,

Paul

On all objects (pictures, text and so on) where you can create an attachement, you can also make it a print command.

Use the attachement button and select print page.

This can also be done in the menu, select a level, then select properties, then use link option to set print page

Hello David,

What I usually do is create an additional hidden page in the sitemap, with the Graphic Properties for that particular page set to 'Create the page without the template'  -  I then set my 'Print this page' hyperlink to point to the new page.

I include only the bare minimum of text and/or images in the 'print-friendly' page...  in effect it is a stripped down version of its parent.

However, this technique wouldn't really be practical for an entire site...  but then again, how many pages on a site really need to be especially printer-friendly?

Kind regards,

Paul
