Works great, but my only problem is that it sometimes leaves big gaps around images

It works, but only when you are out of the editing mode. I had to use the 'shareable' link and then right-click on the page and it shows on the menu. Have not managed to make it work on the editing mode.

Never got it to work. I was able to copy the spark to publisher and print it from there.
