Print or Save

Can I "Print" or "Save" From an AOL Journal (Blog)?

If you read something in an AOL journal can you "print" or "save" from the journal? The answer is "yes." However, you may not want to do this. Be aware that a single journal entry you are reading isn't the only one that will print. You might use much more paper and ink than you planned because all of the entries that you can scroll on the screen will go to the printer. That's what happened when I tried the "print" option. I printed eight pages when I wanted to print just one.

Here's a way to avoid this problem. To print or save a single journal entry you will need to use "copy and paste." First, use the mouse to select the text you'd like to print or save, then click "edit" and then "copy." That will put a copy of what you want on the clipboard. Then use your word processor or favorite text editor to "paste" from the clipboard. Next, you can "save" or "print" the file from the word processor or editor.

I hope this information will be helpful if you find something of interest in an AOL journal.
