INTRODUCTION. This article is about how to view and print the most of the articles in this website, which are in html format. A few things are in pdf or png formats which must be handled differently.
HOW TO VIEW ARTICLES ON SCREEN. Reduce the width of your browser to read these articles. Otherwise lines of text will be too long. All browsers have a way to reduce the width, but they do not all work the same way.
Most browsers have two modes: one mode where you cannot adjust the width, and one mode where you can adjust the width. On older browsers there was a rectangle in the upper right corner that you could click on to change modes. On newer browsers click anywhere near the top edge of the browser to change modes. In the new version of the Firefox browser, the rectangle in the upper right is invisible unless you move the cursor over it. It is to the left of the orange icon that turns the brouser off.
When you have the browser in the correct mode, move the mouse to the lower right hand corner of the browser, hold down the mouse button and drag the lower right hand corner of the browser to the left to reduce the width.
Any text in this website that appears in blue is a link; if you click on it you see something else. Blue text is never used simply for emphasis.
HOW TO PRINT ARTICLES. The html articles probably cannot be printed out properly with your browser. You will probably have to save them to your drive, then open them with your word processor and print them from the word processor. Why would you want to print them? This web site may not be available much longer, given the old age of the author. If you do not have a printer, most document copy shops will let you use their computers and printers to print out these web pages, or will do it for you. They will also staple the pages together. The large articles will require a large 12 inch (30 cm) stapler and 5/8 inch (1.59 cm) staples.
Before printing, you should set the margins. Since many of these articles will require many pages to print out, you will want to staple the pages together along the left edge of the stack of pages. For this reason the left margin will be set larger than the other margins. If you look at any book you will see that the lines of text to not go all the way to the edge of the page, there is a margin between the text and the page. Set the margins for top, right, and bottom at one inch, or 2.54 cm. Set the left margin at 1.5 inches, or 3.81 cm.
The word processor should be set to include a page number on each page.
If you want to donate the articles to your local library, you will not want to staple the pages together. You will want the articles to be bound together as a book. To find a good book binder search online or call the library of the nearest college or university and ask them which commercial book binder they use. The most durable and permanent paper is 100% cotton paper in a 20 pound weight. Such paper can be obtained from Amazon.com as Southworth Thesis paper.
THE STYLE OF THESE WEB PAGES. The style of these html articles is called liquid layout. When the web was originally invented this is the only style that was expected to be used. It is the best style for web pages that have significant amounts of information content. Most web sites do not have significant amounts of information content. This style allows you to choose fine print or large print independently of what size margins you use to print the documents out.
