In case you don't know this, you can usually get to see the CSS directly too via the browser by looking at the link in the head of the HTML source and fashioning the correct direct link to stick it in the address bar of the browser (in another tab perhaps). Inline CSS in the HTML, of course, is visible in the HTML source but these days most pages have external sheets. -- dorayme

None of that is necessary when you can simply click the CSS file in the sidebar of the Safari inspector window (the same one used to view source).

There are a lot of other ways of doing it too. Most things are rarely *necessary*. When a thing is mentioned, it is not necessarily implied there are not other ways to accomplish the same result. And, in case you don't know this, not all Safaris have the facilities you mention. And not all folk use Safari, even folk keeping up with the curve. Quite often, folk are in situations without laid on facilities. -- dorayme

No magic solution here, there's still the question of how big to make the cells. If the dimensions of the pics are known, the element that contains them can be dimensioned to suit and the text can be confined to the width of the element. The element could be a TD in a table or it could be a DIV or any number of other elements without a table. The text does not *have* to be confined to the width of the picture. It could be in an element of its own and dimensioned to be a guessed reasonable percentage of the viewport and centred. All depends on the project, whether there are many pictures, whether they are similar in size, or even aspect ratio. The one good thing about tables is the shrink-to-fit quality of the cells but in this case it hardly helps if the text is so long that it stretches the cells (you see, it's really spring-to-fit because it will also expand to fit!).

I'm sure you are right, a "reasonable job" for many values of
rationality as long as people keep away from MS Word for things like
this. Nice pic btw...
"geek BS" indeed! I exclaim in great respect because I know you are
armed. <g>
Truth is though that making web pages of pictures is a far better way
to go because of the great flexibilty the author has and, more
importantly, the viewer. The pictures, if they are of sufficient size
and quality can be dimensioned either in percentages or in character
size units or other units now and this affords fabulous distribution.
PDFs come more into their own for printing.

No temporary files manual method: hold down the Contol key while taking the screenshot and it goes to the clipboard. Preview has a "New from Clipboard" command, then resize, then you can copy and paste from Preview to final destination (usually email in my case).
