Snowball calculator help for the technically inept?

I have been playing with the snowball calculator on whats the cost.com and its fab. BUT I can't print out the blooming thing. It's too wide and it chops off half the page. I*know* I am technically inept but I want to print it as theres no way to save it and I dont want to have to re-do it every month to see who I should be paying what to?

So, is there a more printer friendly one anywhere? Or am I being dim?

    Dunno but I use the Debt Reduction Planner on Microsoft Money - highly recommend this. It takes ages to input the data but well worth it, any version will do and they often turn up in charity shops/bootsales cunningly hidden on the Microsoft software discs (Works, Word etc) that come with new PCs.

    I don't print off the charts but they look printable (on A4 portrait) and you can sort by month or account.
  • OK, this is how I do it! (assuming you have Word)

    Highlight all the information on the website by left mouse clicking and holding down then scroll over all the text. When all highlighted hit CTRL + C together.

    Open up Word. Click on FILE, then PAGE SETUP. It should come up with info about margins. At the top of that box click the tab that says PAPER SIZE.

    Under ORIENTATION click LANDSCAPE. Then click OK.

    Click in the page and then CTRL + V together. Now depending on how many debts you have you should be able to fit them all on screen if you change the zoom to about 92% for 6 debts!

    Hope this helps.
