Directions Printout from Basecamp

When I Open a Route in Basecamp it gives a Route Directions option which is great but have the following questions on it.

(1) Is there a way to print only the directions page without having to print the entire Maps etc pages?   So far I've had to hightlight and copy them in Basecamp and paste them to a text file to do this.

(2) Also Basecamp route directions does this strange thing of fluctuating the street names on the same street. I.e. the first listing of said street will show the SR 528 and the remaining toll points below (on same toll road) will say one of it's aka names, in this case like this,

9. Take exit 72 to the right onto Sr-528-Toll E towards Int'l Airport/Cape Canaveral,
10. Keep left onto Martin Anderson Expy, <--this is another name for SR-528 but why does it not stick with the original 9. listing?
11. Keep left onto Martin Anderson Expy,
12.Take exit 37 to the left onto Sr-407 towards I-95 N/Kennedy Space Center/Titusville,

I'm guessing it's giving these additional listings for the same road since it appears these are toll booth locations, otherwise it's totally confusing to me?

    You can exclude the map page from printing.  The Print button opens a Print Setup window in which you see the map as the first page of the print preview.  At the top of that page is a Page Setup button in which there are options for Map Details and Route Details.  Oddly, disabling the Map option in the Map Details section and then OKing out does not remove the map image from the preview window but it no longer appears when you click the Print Preview button.  I assume it won't print but I didn't go so far as to send my test to the printer.

    Regarding the varying street names issue... Beats me!

    Thanks that worked. I did like you said and unchecked the Map option. Specifically by right clicking the Route name to open it. Then click the Route Directions, then click the Print button at bottom of page. That takes me to the Print Setup Page and on that page then click the Page setup menu at top. And in that popup under Map Details just uncheck MAP. Then the Map pages disappeared from the print preview and the hard copy print.
    Much appreciate your excellent help.

    BTW I think I found why the Route directions streetname changes, when the route initially exits off the Interstate it goes onto SR528. But you go a about a mile or so before you get to the first toll booths. So from then on I surmise the maps designate what is aka SR528 as the toll road name of M. Anderson Expressway.
