    I tried searching but the search feature doesn't seem to be working lately.

    Does TB have a tool or feature where you print an entire thread (with embedded photos) in one continuous thread (which I can print/save as PDF)?

    Many forums (not MRR) that I frequent have such a print feature so you don't have to print page by page and makes for a nicer/neater output.

    This comes in handy especially for a How-To thread. Print the entire thread and save it for reference as one PDF instead of many.

    I guess you can do that but for a many page thread you'll end up with as many headers and footers for each page. I'm hoping for a Header...page1...page2...page3...pageN...Footer for more compactness and ease of reading.

    I was hoping to print out (PDF) my entire Japan Trains thread as it really morphed into something extensive. I didn't realize when I started that it would end up to be than many pages along with all the pictures.

    It would be a nice to have given all the work I put into it. Maybe one day turn it into a Blog of some sorts. :D

    I'm not either. I've encountered this same need on automotive forums and have never found a way. If you cut and paste using HTML, the photos are omitted.

    Most people can't edit PDFs unless you have an Adobe Acrobat license. The reader is free, not the editor. Most people don't have that, myself included.

    I wish I did as there are times where I want to mod a PDF.

    I didn't mention 11. Only 10 Plus which is different - as usual.

    Were would I get this open office. I don't seem to have it. This computer was bought 12 months ago at the only computer repair shop near by. It was basically set up to run. But, the owner is not friendly. The other two have closed and Walmart isn't friendly either.

    Open Office is a freeware download. I have used it for many years. http://www.openoffice.org/

    The name looked familiar. I dug out an old computer that started me on Windows 10 and there it was. I'll download it to this one and try to fingure it out. It's been about 3 years.
    Thank you for the help!
