AI Thread Summary
Printing a selected portion of a website is not a built-in feature in major browsers like Safari, Opera, or Internet Explorer. Users have noted that while applications like Word allow printing of selected text, this functionality is absent in web browsers. An alternative method to print a selection is to take a screenshot using the Grab application, which allows users to capture specific parts of the screen and print the image. Additionally, a workaround involves downloading a specific tool that enables the "Print Selection" option in Safari. After installing the tool, users can highlight text and access the print selection feature through the Safari menu.

Can someone tell me where to find print selection? I'm trying to print a portion of a website. I can't believe it doesn't have it.

What do you mean print selection? Do you mean printing selected text? Yeah, I don't see how to get that to happen on Safari. It shows up as an automatic option if text is selected in the print menu when I'm printing from Word...or pretty much anything else. Let me go look if it's specific to Safari, or any browser.

While I'm looking, an alternative (though cumbersome and probably not what you really want to have to do if there's an easier way) is to use the application grab to take a screenshot (you can select part or all) and print the screenshot.

Edit: Huhm. It seems it doesn't matter what browser I use (I tried Safari, Opera and IE), you can't print a selection in any of them. I never noticed that before. That's a bit annoying. I don't see anything in help on that topic either.

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
