The frame at the top of the window contains information such as the title.
The frame on the left side of the window contains page actions and links.
The frame in the center of the window contains the page text or form information. This is the area where most actions occur.

1	Place your mouse cursor on the area of the window you want to print -- that is, the center area of the window where the page or form information is.

2	Click once on this area. Although nothing happens that you can see, this action tells the system which area (frame) of the window to print.

3	Move your mouse cursor up to your browser toolbar and click the Print button.
