• Select what you want to print by dragging across the content just like you would in Word
• Select File/Print Preview from the IE menu
• From the Print Preview tool bar toggle off Headers and Footers if you like, and then change As laid out on screen to “As selected on screen”
• Click the Print icon on the far left of the tool bar and then when the dialog pops up select your printer if necessary and click Print

For example you can save whole or selected portions of web pages to Evernote. Or an entire email or just selected text. In the process of saving an item you are prompted to give it a categorization Tag so you can easily filter your saved items. I find it invaluable whether doing online comparisons in searching for a product or doing research for an article I plan to write. There is a Premium upgrade if you need some advanced features, but for the me the free version is perfect.
