Need help With Printing Fitday Reports

I have a Doctor's appointment tomorrow -- my 90-day follow up for more
blood tests (cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting blood gluose, HbA1c). I've
lost nearly 40 pounds since my last appointment on 12/15. They're going to
be very interested in the Doctor's office to know exactly what I've been
doing! Although, my Doc is a low-carb advocate and she uggested that I limit
carbs as well as calories to help lower my BG's s along with the weight.

I've been entering everything that I eat into Fitday (including vitamin and
nutriental supplements, which I set up as a custom "food." There are some
great monthly summary reports that I'd love to be able to take with me to
show the Doc. e.g., Calories Breakdown with pie charts (% from fats,
protein, carbs); also the complete nutritional chart showing % of vitamins &
minerals consumed compared to the recomended daily amounts.

Anyway, when I try to print the Fitday web page with the charts on it, Ionly
the background prints -- and the charts, which are in the form of picture
files I guess, don't print. I'd appreciate any suggestions as to how to
print the complete page including the pie charts. I'm pretty good with
computers, but this has me stumped! I've gone into my printer software and
instructed it to print html links on the page; same thing. No pie charts.
I'm using Internet Explore, and went into Tools-Advanced-Print and made sure
that it's set to print background colors and pictures. No difference.
Those rascals still won't print. Any suggestions? How am I going to
impress my Doctor as being the overachiever that I am if I can't show her
all my statistics and pie charts that I worked so hard at maintaining?
Waaaahhhhhhh! g

One more Fitday question for you experts while I'm at it; I've only been
using Fitday for 3 months and haven't learned all the ins and outs yet: The
Nutrition Report shows the complete nutritional breakdown of foods eaten
including fat-soluble vitamins, water-soluble vitamins, trace minerals and
major minerals. It's irritating to me that this report show that I am
deficient in some of these even though I take plenty in supplement form.
There is simply no place I can find to enter the values for certain of the
nutrients, including phosphorus and selenium. If they print out on the
report, why can't I enter them when I set up a custom food? Anyone
understand what I'm saying and have a solution? When it comes to stuff like
this I know I'm way too anal, and I get frustrated if I can't get the exact
results I want!

TIA

p.s. Man, it feels good to make a good ol' low-carb-related post. Seems as
if many of us have been bogged down this past weekend in some pretty heavy
OT posts debating all kinds of deep social issues. It feels good to come up
for air. And I welcome help from everyone, regardless of your political
party, sex, age, sexual orientation, race or religion! g

Do a PrintScreen of the page and paste it into an image editor and print
from there. If you don't have an image editor that you are familiar with I
suggest you go get IrfanView, www.irfanview.com . It is very user friendly
and easy to print from and it's free. I have used more sophisticated
programs but for basic editing I use this program.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion!

I just downloaded some freeware called "Gadwin PrintScreen" version 2.6.
It's an awesome little program that goes say beyond window's printscreen
capabiliteis; you can choose the area you want to print, then save the
image to a file or to the clipboard in various formats. I simply copied it
to WordPad, resized it and got a perfect printout!

Thankds again! This is the most knowledgeable newsgroup I've ever seen.
Low-carb eating must be good brain fuel

Sometimes, if I want to save or edit part of what's on my screen and conventional
methods don't seem to be working, I'll take a screenshot. In my laptop, I press
SHIFT+PrtSc -- on a different PC, I have to press ALT+SHIFT+PrtSC. This copies
the entire screen to the clipboard (on a PC). I can then paste it into many
programs. If I just want to save a softcopy of something (such as an on-line
order form or confirmation and I don't trust my browser to save it correctly), I
may just post it into WordPad and save it as an RTF file (which can then be
opened with Word later, if necessary). If I want to use just part of what's on
it, I'll paste it into a PhotoShop Elements file and trim it to the part I want.
You could probably do that with just about any imaging s/w. Good luck!

I've had this problem too, and what I've had to do to work around it is
right click on a chart or graph (I am using Windows XP, this should work in
any Windows environment), save it as a separate picture file, and then print
the file. It's a terrible kluge, and very annoying if you want to print a
whole page - all I've ever wanted to print was a single graph, and only
about once a month, so it doesn't hurt too badly. You might try emailing
FitDay support - I doubt they will care how broken their webpage is, now
that it is just a leader for their pay software, but it never hurts to ask.
