Q:
Is there a way to print my Favorites?

A:
Yes and No. You don't have an option where you can right click your favorites and choose "Print" or anything like that, but there is a procedure whereby you can create a printable HTML document.

First we need to create the HTML list. With Internet Explorer go to File / Import and Export to bring up the "Import/Export Wizard". Click "Next".

Select "Export Favorites" then "Next". If your favorites are organized into folders you can choose to save all (that would be the top folder "Favorites", or just a specific folder.

Choose "Export to a File or Address" where you'll give it a name and location. I would select the "Browse" button and save it to my desktop for easy finding. Click "Next".

"Finish" and we're done with the first part.

Now, what to do with this file.

Double click the file and it will open up in Explorer. Notice that it is just a page of names with clickable links. Don't panic, we can print the URLs—stay with me.

With IE 5 go to File/Print and check the "Print table of links" box then OK. With IE 6 go to File/Print then select the "Options" tab—you'll find the "Print table of links" tab there.

Push the "Print" button and you'll have a list with addresses.

You can export a list of Firefox bookmarks too: Go to Bookmarks/Manage Bookmarks then File/Export. Choose a location and name (again, I suggest the desktop) then Save. The only trick here for printing is that you'll need to open the HTML file with Internet Explorer and print using the method above.

I couldn't find an AOL way to print favorites, sorry.
