== Image Scaling ==

Images can be scaled by changing the image measurement units. These units can be different types such as;

- * Pixels: px- * Doths per inch: dpi

These are the most commonly used types for images over the web. Images can be scaled in HTML using tags or attributes called width and height. An example of this is when an image may be 200px in width and 300px in height, now I put this inside a box on a web page. I may have less space to work with so i change the width and height of the box to say 100px and 150px . The image size is the same but because i have specifically set the width and height of the box, it will crunch the image to fit this box.

There are different methods for handling web printing;

- * Print Screen :- print what the user sees, this may crunch or stretch the data depending on web page and printer page size- * Copy and Paste to Microsoft Word :- this will allow word to interpret the web page and try and make it appear correctly but this can be messy due to words default formatting- * Merge Template :- bxp software has this functionality and this is the one we recommend you use. - * Email to Self :- Emailing the HTML can be a good idea if the page is less than 600px wide as programs such as outlook can read HTML- * Pre-Printed :- Organise headed paper with the images already printed in high quality that way on the text needs to positioned.

== Mail Merge Template - Recommended Solution ==

This feature is offered in bxp software. What it does is take data from the database and produce a template pulling in the fields that the user requests allowing for the dynamic creation of mails regardless of the number of mails that need to be produced.
