Most Windows programs, such as Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, Outlook, Microsoft Word, and so on, allow you to print specific information. In other words, if you have a Word document but only need to print a portion of it, you can do so and save on printer ink instead of printing out the entire document. Likewise, if you stumble across a Web site and want to print specific information, you can do so as well in Internet Explorer.

When you want to send information to be printed, you normally click File, Print, and then click the Print button. If you want to save on printer ink and only print the information you need, simply select (highlight) the information within the program, select the File menu, and click Print. In the printer dialog box, choose the Selection option usually listed under Page Range. Click the Print button. If you do not have the option to print a specific selection, your printer driver or program probably does not support this feature.
