There was something awhile ago on this forum about using a panel. Suggest searching the site.

Use CSS2 to format how your page will be printed.
See the W3C website for a reference on Print CSS2.

But first of all how can i get the letter to appear in a pop up window when a button is clicked?
The letter contains variables..

Create an ASPX page that will display the letter for you...or use the same page you have only pass it a query string parameter to indicate that you just want the letter output.

Then for the button add some JavaScript that will open that page in the browser....

EG:

[code=vbnet]
myPrintButton.A ttributes.Add(" onclick","JavaS cript:window.op en(""" + "ThePrintPage.a spx""" + ",""""+"prinit" "" + ",""" + "toolbar=no,men ubar=no,width=8 50,height=500,r esizable=yes,sc rollbars=yes""" + ");return false;")[/code]

The "return false" prevents the page from posting back to the server.
