Re: Ill fitting Web pages.

I've had this problem before. There should be some sort of "shrink to fit" option in your browser's Page Setup menu. In Firefox, you can access this by going to File, Page Setup, then checking the box "Shrink to Fit," then pressing ok. I'm not familiar with the possible location of this control in any other browser.

Alternatively, you can copy the text/webpage you want and paste into into some sort of word processor, such as Microsoft Word.

A problem with this is that the webpage may, under some circumstances, have special formatting which the Word processor will not interpret, thus creating a bad looking copy. This is especially true for low-featured word processors such as WordPad(included with Windows). If you do not own Microsoft Word, or similar, you can download a freeware Word Processor called AbiWord, or you could download the free Microsoft Office clone, OpenOffice.

Somebody more experienced like Syphus may be able to help you further.
