Copy & paste a returns label off a webpage

The_stingemeister

How do you do it?
The reason I need to do this is because I have no printer at moment and need to print out a barcoded label to post something back. The idea is to copy the label to a memory stick and to go to library for printing off. I've done this before with flight tickets (easyjet etc) without a problem.
Can't get it to work .

Why don't you do the whole job at the library and forget the memory stick?

I suppose that's one way, but that means opening my email account on a public computer (paranoid I know).

You could print the label to file, and take that to the library.

Press <Alt><PrtSc> then paste into Paint. Trim to suit and save to the memory stick (surprised they let you use them in a library).

Alternatively download something like CutePDF and then "print" the file to PDF on the memory stick (assuming they have Adobe on the library machine).

As said, print as PDF (cutepdf is free) or save the page the label is on as a .htm file. Either way just copy that file onto USB.

What do I put as output file? I put a name in and it said could not open the file access denied.

Don't want to download for something as "simple" as this.

Tried to copy to works and it won't work, it would with word but that won't send (perhaps because I haven't got full edition?

Sorry, what do you mean?

Have you printed as pdf so you now have a pdf file?

An alternative to PrtScrn and tripping is to use the Snipping Tool (in Accessories on post XP Windows PCs). You just select the part of the screen you need and save it as a Jpeg. Save the Jpeg to your stick and print that out.

Select "Save page as" or "Save as" from the File menu (top menu) on your browser. You can then save the whole page to the stick.
