Text too wide for paper,cuts end off

I frequently find that some text in forums etc is in sentences too long for the normal paper when printed, and as a result the last few words are cut off. Often reducing print size works, but makes it harder to read. I haven't been able to find any way to make it fit the page, or is that not possible? Changing to landscape helps, but not always.
any suggestions ?

That page loads normally for me in Safari 3.1.1. Not to say that it it might not have a problem in some setups, different browsers, etc....
Edit: Ah, yes, in Firefox that thread really is very wide, isn't it. And it actually is caused by a long URL, the "http://www.newegg.com..." link in one of R. Berardi's posts, which wraps to three lines in my Safari but doesn't wrap in Firefox. It seems that Safari and Firefox have different line-wrapping behavior, where Safari will wrap some text after certain characters but Firefox will not.

  • Mac login acounts too wide for the screen

    The older versions worked just fine, but Lion login account icons run left and right and are too wide for the screen on the macmini. So, I have to scroll to get to my account at the end of the list. Is there a way to change this?

    It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high and that the scroll bars fall off.<br />
    Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
    If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.<br />

  • Navigation bar too wide for template graphic after creating new page

    I want to stick within the templates, but I have a lot of pages and don't want them all in the nav bar. When I flagged a page to keep it out of the NAV bar, the NAV bar get messed up - not properly displaying at the edge of the template, like it made room for the hidden page's link then re-adjusted itself too wide for the background graphic. I've got the problem in the elegant template when displayed in IE on Windows (1024X768). Safari on my mac looks OK. Are there any other setting changes I can make to be better compatible?
    Thanks

    It appears to have been a cache issue or some such. I no longer see the problem

  • Newsletter is too wide for Mail window

    I receive a monthly email newsletter. It is hard to read because the text is wider than the window, necessitating constant left and right scrolling. I had the same problem before I changed monitors. Some other Mac users are writing in to the editor with the same problem, but noone who uses Windows has complained so far.

    You can resize the picture on the display by pinching your fingers on the trackpad of the MacBook Pro. Pinching makes the picture smaller and you an make it fit into the window so you don't have to scroll. If you want to make the picture bigger, you move your thumb and index finger apart, the opposite of pinching.
    I just posted this as a problem i'm hoping someone can help with. I can resize the picture by pinching, but i don't want to have to keep resizing every time i go to a website. i want Safari to automatically have the picture fit the window so that information is not cut off, requiring either resizing or scrolling. I didn't used to have this problem.

  • Movies Too Wide For Screen?

    Recently got a new Ipod Classic (160gb) and some of the podcasts and movies and stuff are cut off on both sides of my ipod. They fit the top and bottom of the screen, but are too wide. Whats up?

    Hello nick4tivy,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Have you made sure you haven't turned widescreen on? To check head to the Videos section of your iPod and choose "Settings". Make sure *TV Screen* is set to Standard and see if that helps.
    Otherwise, depending on where the video came from, you may have to use a third party utility to help change the resolution of the video. If it was downloaded from iTunes, you will not be able to do anything about it. Sorry.

  • Project too new for final cut 6.0.2 error message

    My colleague at work has edited a rough cut on her Quad Core Intel computer. I'm using a Power Mac G5, and was able to download the project onto my desktop, but I get this message every time I try to open it: "This project is unreadable or may be too new for this version of Final Cut." We're both using FCP 6.0.2, I've done all the software updates I can, but I still receive the message. Does anyone know what I can do?

    Did the person use the same workstation you are using? If you have the other person's volume mounted on your desktop, and you are definitely running the same OS, and you have the same version of FCP, then try opening the original file, not a copy. If it opens, do a *"save as"* instead of using a duplicated copy of the project.
    Also, if they are using a different workstation, they may have another 3rd party component installed that they used, (maybe a filter or codec), that would interfere with it opening. The best way to make sure FibreJet works seemlessly in a multi-station work environment is to make absolutely sure that every station is a clone of the others. If you do an update on one, you have to do it on all. If you add an application, make sure you add it to all stations.
    If you are using a different workstation, try to open it with the other station, then mount your desktop to that station through the LAN, and do a *"save as"* to your desktop, then try opening it from there.
    Of course, do all this after trying to zip it before copying it. It only takes a second and would eliminate one aspect of the possible problem.

  • OneStep DVD cuts end off of my video

    Hi, I'm trying to dub some copies of a 45min video I did with iMovie. I'm using iDVD OneStep. I've used it before and had no complications, but this time it cuts off just before the end of the video. I checked my video to see if I had in some way left a space that might have indicated the video was done, but I hadn't. And my master tape from my camera plays exactly as I have produced it. Any ideas? I would appreciate any input. Thanks, Kate

    Okay, first: Nope, there are no chapter markers at all. If I put in a chapter marker it would be about 30 mins in to separate the video from the video slideshow.
    Next: Oops, I looked at the wrong video. Just the video-no menu or any thing is 5gigs. I just added that to show I had at least twice the space on my hard drive as the video...
    I used AIC because thats what was suggested in iMovie '08 & iDVD, The Missing Manual. I've only been using a Mac for about 6 months and this is my first video, hence the book. I can try the other format though and see if that works.
    That is correct, the entire movie processes correctly and the only thing getting cut off is the final rolling credits screen. I set the credits to music so its a couple mins long. The video plays all the credits except the final 60 second scrolling credit-just a white box. However, the final frame of the movie/credits, which does not scroll, shows up on the screen just fine.
    Okay, here's something too: I tried the export using QT again-and made sure no other programs were running. I checked the video BEFORE I imported to iDVD and it has the same problem. So perhaps I should repost this in iMovie instead? If I should, sorry for the hassle.

  • 16:9 widescreen movie menus are too wide for the TV screen

    I shot a movie in 16:9 on my Canon Optura 600 camcorder and edited it in iMovieHD6. Imported it into iDVD6 and all was looking good. Burned it on the SuperDrive and when played back on my Sony XBR flat screen TV (Not widescreen), the 16:9 movie overscans and hides some of the theme menus at the sides. The movie looks "squashed." If I play it at 4:3 on the same TV the movie looks normal but the menus still don't fit. I went back into iDVD and changed the project to 4:3. In the preview mode, now all looks ok. The movie does not look flattened. Is this the way that 16:9 movies should be handled in iDVD6, that is, converted to standard and not wide screen, so that they run as a 16:9 movie letterboxed on the 4:3 screen? I played the DVD on a Sony widescreen LCOS SXRD projection TV and the movie fit better but part of the menus were still hiddden.

    Hi Steven,
    iDVD does some strange things with aspect ratios. It basically stems from the way it deals with the aspect ratio flag that your DVD player uses to set the screen resolution. iDVD internally sets the aspect ratio of the project to 16:9 auto pan & scan and letterbox. In essence this means that the output is contolled almost totally by the settings on you DVD player and TV.
    In an ideal world iDVD would give you the option to set the aspect ratio to 16:9 letterbox therefore forcing the picture to letterbox on a 4:3 TV. This would give more consistent results across varying equipment.
    Added to this, some TV's and DVD players will by design cut off some of the edges of the available picture. This is normal and should be allowed for when creating your DVD. You can use the Show TV Safe option (apple T) to show the safest area to place titles and menus in.
    The way DVD's work and the method by which aspect ratios are handled is a complicated subject for which there's not enough space here but if you're really interested in having a little more control over the way your DVD works then I can highly recommend myDVDedit:
    http://www.mydvdedit.com
    It's free and a great tool. It even has a guide to fix exactly your problem. Downside is you need a little bit of a learning curve to fully understand the way a DVD works.
    Basically you could create a disk image on you hard disk and edit the results to set the aspect ratio to force a 16:9 letterbox therefore ensuring more reliability.
    Alternatively you could create your DVD's as normal (ensuring that you set the project correctly to 16:9 to match your footsge) and adjust the settings on your DVD player to 16:9 letterboxed. That might work but you'd have to ensure that this is set correctly on all of the DVD players you use your disks on.
    I hope I haven't confused the living daylights out of you.

  • Some websites have pages which are too wide for my screen and I lose the edges.

    Do I have to adjust settings on my computer, and if so, how?
    Does not affect every website, only 2.
    OK on this laptop computer but affects my desktop (Dell) running Windows XP.

  • Silly request but iMovie Texts in livetype for final cut pro

    Ok, so ive recently switched from iMovie to Final Cut Pro, but i had grown to love the text titles in iMovie, now i know you can do some amazing stuff in livetype but is there any way to use the text titles from iMovie in Livetype for export to FCP?
    Thanks

    The iMovie type tool is completely different and not compatible with LiveType.
    Why not just export a QuickTime file from iMovie and use that in FCP?

  • Graphic/ Text Add ons for Final Cut Express

    Can anyone help on this one......
    I have been using FCE for a little while now and I am getting to understand it. A problem I now have is that when I add text to the start and end of films the available resources are poor compared to iMovies. I don't really want to be moving back and forwards into iMovies so can anyone point me in direction of a good/ reasonably priced plug in package that provides nice intros/ text/ transitions?
    Hope someone can help.
    Thanks,
    Howard

    can not share this impression..
    on install of FCE, you additionally got LIVETYPE on your harddrive, which offers zillions of options ..
    its very brief manual alone has >150 pgs of advice for any kind of title-ing.
    and FCE' built-in BORIS effects additionally has tons of options for title design ..

  • Printing from Flash page is too large for paper size

    Here's what happens: I go to a favorite Sudoku web page (http://games.latimes.com/indexsudoku.html?uc_featurecode=lasud) and hit the "print" button on the page to print the puzzle. When I look at it in Preview, the puzzle extends off the page on the right and bottom. The same happens when I print it directly to my printer. Also happens if I select "Save to PDF". It seems that somewhere between the web page and my Mac, something forgets or ignores that my default printer is letter size and insists that my paper is larger.
    If I print the same puzzle in my Windows virtual machine to the PDF printer, the puzzle is normal. So, I figure something is amiss on the Mac side and I don't have a clue what it is. (I am new to Mac).

    Thanks for the advice. I did all you suggested and then tried it. Looks like everything boils down to Page Setup. I have two printers here at work and everything works fine if I set the HP Color Laserjet as my default in Page Setup. However, if I use the Canon MP830, the page goes wacko like before. For the Canon, the Canon IJ Driver (ver 4.8.3) was automatically selected at installation.
    Doesn't matter which printer I print to...it all seems to depend on which printer I select in Page Setup. Any ideas on what is going on?

  • Widescreen project too wide for my widescreen TV?!

    Hi everyone!
    So I'm going nutz and have read a bunch of other threads on this but most of it is way over my head. Can someone help out a layman?
    I just made a movie on iMovie and then moved it to iDVD. I am using iLife 08. The projects (the movie and dvd) were both widescreen. Everything was great! Looked great on the computer etc... But then I played the dvd on my widescreen TV and the top and bottom of the picture (including titles I had put on the bottom of the screen using the imovie templates) had been cut off. Not letter boxed but rather they seemed to not fit on the screen. I tried changing my tv settings but nothing seems to work.
    Does anyone know what might be up? I also tried to burn the dvd as a standard 4:3 project and the resulting DVD still had the top and bottom cut off. Is this an issue with my DVD/TV?
    thanks guys!!

    On your DVD player, go to settings and find the Video area. Find aspect ratio and change that to 16:9.

  • Ibooks template too wide for my image

    If you go to Ibooks author it only allows you to select the larger template,  How do I change it to the thinner vertical rectangle that other authers are using ?
    I am providing 2 book covers, the top one is the one I want, but the bottom one is the only one I can choose in ibook author. How can I adjust my book cover size to be like the top book in my image.
    O

    When you  open iBooks Author, you should have the  template chooser appear.
    The "larger"  template is designed for use in Landscape.  What you want is a "Portrait" sized template.
    When  the  template chooser opens, you will see the different template available in both Landscape and Portrait.
    Also,  using Landscape, you can "turn off"  the porttrait orientation.
    Portrait template are more suitable to books with  mostly  written content and  maybe a few small illustrations, while Landscape are  used mostly by those making  illustrated/ interactive books and use  video and  other widgets.
