I know I am technically inept, but I did manage to print an image page from the beta site.
How do I do it now the site is properly launched?
The image is huge, how do I make it smaller?
I tried to print one, there was one page with just a heading, and one page with just the left hand side of the image!!! :-[
Help! Non technical words of one syllable please, and assume no previous knowledge!

Switch to the "printer-friendly" option offered on the screen, and make sure your printing preferences (for your own printer) are set to landscape, not portrait.

I've been on the site over lunch and 60 credits disappeared in the blink of an eye  :o  Luckily I limited myself to 60.  ;D ;D

Its a real shame you can't see the neighbours as well as this usually tells you alot about the area where your ancestors lived.  Sadly it has not solved the problem of my grandad's adopted sister though.  This means I will have to wait for the 1921!!!!  :(

Its surprising how much you can glean just from the free index with some inventive searches ........ with full name and age that helps pinpoint anyone with more unusual names etc. I'm biding my time and having a good play around before parting with any money!
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex

Cats Ears, Thank you. Where does it say 'printer friendly' on the actual image, not the transcription.
I have tried again and am offered 3 pages. Page 2 has only part of the form on it

I think I just downloaded the originals and saved them, then printed them from the PC.

Printing
Download,Save and then copy to Word - Landscape.  You can resize on the page, I have found A3 is best (if you have that option).
