Josh,
I am not one of the those who responded to you originally, but my advice is
"Don't worry"
In my experience, if CSS is wrong, then it does nothing.
Two ways to set up the CSS code
1. In the <head> section add
<style type="text/css">
/* the styles go here */
</style>
2. If the code is in an external file (style.css), then in the <head>
section add
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
RE screen and print versions,
For screen, you don't need to do anything. (It is the default.)
For print versions, use
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="print.css" />
In fact, you can use both
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="print.css" />
The CSS in print.css will add to that already in style.css, cascading as in
Cascading StyleSheet

Response to Murray and Ronx:
The reason i do not what to use CSS is well quite frankly, i do not have
much experience in CSS my background is in FrontPage and HTML. I have
looked
at the CSS Printer-Friendly Pages and i do not get the CSS script when it
talks about the screen and print versions in the CSS code. I also have
no
idea where and in what page tp ut the CSS code in the web site. I know
from
experience that if you corrupt your whole HTML code by just one character
the
whole site goes blank and that is why a CSS code worries me. Mu site as
well
does not have a set "navigation" or FrontPage template it uses interactive
buttons to accomplish a navigation etc.
:
For the printer, you create the page with a fixed, maximum width of
620px. For a page that is *only* for print, set the font sizes in pts.
For a page that is for the screen, do *not* use pts - different browsers
will use different sizes for pts, but all printers will treat pts the
same way.
The easiest way to do this is to use ONE page (no duplicates) and CSS to
mark the differences between the screen layout and print layout.

I want to create a white web page with black and white text on it for
my site

duplicate
page for the printable version one for online cop and one that is just
for
printing purposes. But how do i set up a blank web page to only be as
big as
necessary to make the web page only about as big as the 8.5 inches x11
inches
paper it would be printed on? How do i do that? Thank you any help is
greatly
