Please can anyone tell me how to print out the census pages without it using all my ink on thick black borders. I'm not very computer literate. Thank you Frances

You need to save the image of the census page as a JPEG file. Then you can open it in a photo editing program (You're bound to have at least a Microsoft one on your computer) Once the image of the page is there you can CROP it with the crop tool so that the black edge is cut off. Then save it again and print out the new one. Anne
