Not always trivial... and it *is* an extra step.
Sometimes SimpleText, Word or another text application apparently
arbitrarily ignores some of the line breaks as they appear on the HTML page,
and you get some reallllllly long run-on paragraphs. This is most noticeable
in blocks of text that have an index or table of contents at the top of each
section.
With the ability of Mac IE 4.5 to use Print Preview, it's not *as big* a
problem, since you can first preview and then only print the pages that are
relevant, but it still is less elegant, and involves at least a few extra
steps, and the end result usually has unwanted information at the beginning
and/or end.
