Printing Issues
Not all pages printed off WebCT will print off properly. This is mainly due to inconsistent formatting of the PDF or Powerpoint between our computers and that of the creator. To remedy this, save the document to the computer and then print the document from the computer rather than from WebCT. This has been known to solve many issues with printing from WebCT.
