I did try feeding ie/win a print stylesheet with expressions, but those 
bits of javascript seemed to run in the context of the screen (window 
width/height) rather than in the context of the page dimensions.  My 
script solution only worked because I made assumptions about page 
content width/height and set box sizes accordingly.  Thats why it was 
such an ugly hack.

ie/win = the browser I love to hate.  Although ie/win moved to number 2 
on my list of hated software the other day when I discovered that my 
development database had opened my project in 'read only' mode, without 
warning, and only pretended to save my changes for 2 days :)  Aren't 
computers a wonderful thing?
