The main title of chapter 4 gets cut just after "Floating Leaves of Co". The sentence on the second? page that ends in " ... Ambrose Caverns is with the elf. He is" gets cut off just after "Amrbose Cave".

Yes, I'm using Avant, which uses IE's rendering engine.

However, given your point about Firefox, I just tried it in Mozilla and (at least the print preview) seems to do a much better job.  It's cutting off just a couple of letters, which I can guess from the context.

Now that I know it's browser-specific, I'll just print from Mozilla for the time being.  Thanks for the pointer ... and thanks for the great work!
