    Printing issues

    Hi Adam,
     
    When I create and print a document in CE, then copy/paste that content to Word for Windows and print the Word version, the CE document is about 65% of actual size when compared to the same document in Word.
     
    Font size is quite apparently wrong as well. 10pt becomes about 7pt when printed.
     
    However, when I paste the content into your general.aspx demo, it prints at the right size...
     
    Why is that?
     
    What am I doing wrong?
     
    Thanks
    Fred

    Adam,
     
    I hope you understood what I said. In the CE in our app, when I print, the content on the printed page is about 65% of what it should be. Images are 35% smaller, fonts are 35% smaller, etc. on the printed output page.
     
    When I print the same thing in your default.aspx, everything is the correct size when printed.
     
    Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

    Printed output being shrunk

    CE appears to be shrinking content to fit into a page when printing.
     
    Images that I insert into the CE editor are getting shrunk when being printed. So is text.
     
    To demonstrate this, I start by placing this code in Microsoft FrontPage and printing it:
     
    <html>
        <head>
        </head>
        <body>
            <div style="width: 907; height: 809"><font size="4">This is size 4 font test</font>
            <div>&nbsp;</div>
            <div><img height="768" alt="" src="file:///c:/inetpub/wwwroot/oneto1/uploads/originalversion_doc.jpg" width="904" border="0" /></div>
            </div>
        </body>
    </html>
     
    The page prints correctly. The font size is correct.
     
    When I paste the same code into CE (with EditCompleteDocument set true), it shrinks everything to fit and also shrinks the printed output!
     
    <html>
        <head>
        </head>
        <body>
            <div style="width: 907; height: 809"><font size="4">This is size 4 font test</font>
            <div>&nbsp;</div>
            <div><img height="768" alt="" src="http://cutesoft.net/oneto1/uploads/originalversion_doc.jpg" width="904" border="0" /></div>
            </div>
        </body>
    </html>
    If I set EditCompleteDocument false and paste the code in the HTML editor, CE still shrinks everything on output ....
     
    If I delete the img from the content, the sentence, "This is size 4 font test" still doesn't appear the correct size.
     
    Am I crazy, or is this really happening?
     
    If it's happening, then how do I get CE to faithfully print the document the correct size? Is it something in the browser (I tried both IE and Firefox - they both do the same thing)....
     
    Help, please...
     
    Fred
