When I print Web pages at home, Page X of Y appears at the top of each page. At the office, pages print with the title, Page X of Y, the site's Web address, and the date--all across the top. How can I change these settings?

From Internet Explorer's File menu, select Page Setup. In the resulting dialog box, you can enter codes that control what appears in the header and footer for a printed page.

To see a complete list of codes, click the question-mark icon in the dialog's title bar and then click on the header or footer box. Every code consists of an ampersand (&) and a letter. For example, &u represents the current URL. Noncode text, like Page and of in Page &p of &P, gets passed through unchanged. A &b code divides the text into two parts, one left-aligned and the other right-aligned. Two &b codes divide the text into left-aligned, centered, and right-aligned portions. You can experiment with the codes, then choose File | Print Preview to see the effect of your changes.
