When I print out a page from my website, the path name is printed in the left hand bottom corner; it is the version stated in the URL when I check ‘Page Properties’.

This is fine as an identifier. What is not so good is the inclusion of these % signs in spaces between words. How do I replace them with blanks?

Hello Kieran,  
I am not sure - the ampersand is often used in the place of a space in the URL and such. I tried experimenting on my computer and printing a sample page; I did not have ampersands, but instead I had spaces.

Quite strange. I’ll keep looking for a solution though.

Cheers!
