Hi folks,

Just recieved an e-mail saying I need to renew my MEW subscription (which seems a bit previous as it runs out in Jan) and the benefits listed included

"FREE online access to the most recent issue of the magazine and access to the last year of digital editions allowing you to search for your favourite articles."

Currently I can access all of the online issues, is this right? or will I be asked to pay more to continue vewing the older isssues?

Hi There

It is still continued access going back about 10 years.

Someone can't get it right.

No worries.

regards David

I am new to this forum (but not to machine work), so trying to catch up. I am so encouraged by the tip Ive signed up for on line sub, Thanx

One thing I find with the reader on screen, its a nice page turner, but some times I want to print an article for closer study away from the dreaded PC. but cant do this readily. When printing, it only gives me a quarter of the screen view so truncating the other 3/4 of the article. Ive tried a screen capture app, but the resolution is poor so when prining the full page, its very fuzzy. Also cant save it as a pdf as i only get the same 1/4 page as the print. I dont know if its my PC and its native screen resolution or hwat. Its odd

My only workaround is to zoom in and screen grab chunks - clumsy eh?

Anyone else got this problem?


Cheers

Robin

Robin,

The way I print (to printer or pdf) is I click on the page to zoom in, let the screen display, move the mouse pointer to the top of the page, you will see a <Print Page> button in the middle (at top of page), click this and the standard windows print box comes up, select printer and away you go. (I print to a pdf printer)

Hi SB

I missed that little tab at the top, it gets occluded by the document txt, so I missed it. But it works now, though I had to ensure that no "scle to fit" was done as the page already contains a 1/2 ins border. The tex is very small and just about legible, but I can live with it and a magnifying glass. Its a common mistake publishers still make, when they just port a printed page straight onto screen, not recognising different media involve. Its an on going argument I have with publishers. They seem to have a blind spotdisgust
