Yes, you're right of course.  What I really meant here was the  
equally-undefined "whatever size you usually get if you save a  
screenshot to the clipboard, paste it into a WYSIWYG document editor,  
and print the page".  Whenever I do that (assuming there's some text  
on the page too), I nearly always scale the screenshot down to 60-70%  
of its original size, as it kind of overwhelms the text otherwise.

I think I probably learned this practice from reading William  
Horton's "Illustrating Computer Documentation" many years ago though,  
so make of it what you will :)

Cheeri,
Calum.
