Place your content inside a table that is fixed width.

I think you can download special templates for text or as the admin said place the text in a table. :)

CSS would be you best option for fixing the width of your content. You can set different settings for on-screen and printed output (and a number of other different medias).

The easiest way to do these is by using 2 separate CSS files (although there are other ways to do it) like this

[html]
<link href="standard. css" rel="stylesheet " title="Standard " type="text/css" />

<link href="print.css " rel="stylesheet " media="print" title="Standard " type="text/css" />
[/html]

In the standard CSS file you leave the page width along, in the print CSS file you set the page width like so

body {
    width= 8.5in;
}

However that is not what you asked, you have not asked how to fix the content width but would to fix the destination paper size. This is actually part of the printer set-up, the paper size most browsers use is the default printer page size. This can normally be set from the printer set-up available from control panel.

In Windows XP

Control Panel -> Printer and Faxes -> <Printer to Access>

The from displayed printer window

Printer -> Printing Preferences...

Dispays the printing preferenecs dialog. Since these are printer manufacturer dependent I can not give you any further instructions but somewhere in the preferences you will find an option to set the prefered printer page size.
