print macro - is there a way??

**Raylo** · 02-20-2007, 07:38 AM

I routinely print a series of crossword puzzles from online newspapers to work with pen at the gym or on a plane. Some of the puzzles are java apps and some load into AcrossLite on my local computer.

For instance I usually print 3 Sunday puzzles from the LA Times that are java apps. For each one I have to click on the initial link, then click on the date block, then click on skill level, then click on the "print" menu which reveals several drop down choices and then I have to click blank puzzle, then finally I have to click on the printer dialog box to send it to the printer.

Then for the New York Times I have to click on the appropriate date puzzle which dowloads the puzzle into AcrossLite and starts AcrossLite. Then I have to click print and then say OK to the print dialog box.

Can both or either of these be automated? Is there any good shareware that might help? It would be so nice to start a macro and let this all happen in background.
