From the Print Preview window, you can change the page orientation and adjust the print settings. l To change the print settings without first previewing the page, click Page Setup in the Print list.

If you have an e-mail program installed on your computer, you can share the information directly from Internet Explorer in two ways: l You can send a copy of the page embedded in an e-mail message. (If you want to keep a copy of the page handy in an easily accessible electronic format, you can send it to yourself.) Links from the page you send remain active in the e-mail message. l You can send the page URL in a plain-text message. Message recipients using e-mail programs that support active content can click the URL to display the Web page in a browser window. Recipients using e-mail programs that don’t support active content can copy the URL and paste it into a browser to display the page. Troubleshooting These options are available only when working in an e-mail program that is installed on your computer; not when working in a Web mail program that runs inside an Internet Explorer window. If you have a Windows Live Hotmail account, you also have the option of sending the Web page or link through that account. To do so, click E-mail With Windows Live on the Page menu. This option opens Windows Live Hotmail on a separate tab of the same Internet Explorer window. Internet Explorer protects your account from use by other people by requiring that you first log in to your account. See Also For information about setting the default e-mail program for Internet services, see the sidebar “Setting the Default E-Mail Program” in Chapter 8, “Manage Internet Explorer.” In this exercise, you’ll first send an e-mail message with an embedded Web page, and then send another message with a link to a Web page. SET UP You don’t need any practice files to complete this exercise, but you do need to have an e-mail program installed on your computer, and an account configured in that program. Start your default e-mail program and log on to your e-mail account if necessary. Then start Internet Explorer and follow the steps. 1. Display any Web site in the Internet Explorer window. 2. On the Command bar, click the Page button. Please purchase PDF Split-Merge on www.verypdf.com to remove this watermark.
