Printable View
I wrote a ASP page that display a report in IE 5.0. I must ask the user to adjust the text size in IE to SMALLEST manually (View ---> Text Size ---> SMALLEST) everytime he prints the report. Is there a way I can adjust the text size in IE thru ASP? Or is there any component I could use in the ASP that I can change it automatically. Thanks!!
If your users are using the newer IE, then I would probably use a cascading style sheet to present the content exactly like you want it. If you don't know anything about CCS, then you should have a look at:

There should be enough information there for you to do what you want.
Yeah, CSS would definatly be the best bet. What you could do is have an option to change style sheets, and whichever one the user selects will be cookied for them.
Example of what they are saying:
[code]
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
P {color:#FFFFFF;font-size:9;background-color:#8F0000}
</STYLE>
</code]
Something along those lines will give you smaller font sizes (I just added colour & background-colour as examples for other CSS elements), although I'm not quite sure if font-size is the point value...
