How to make paper wallet from Electrum wallet

How to make paper wallet from Electrum wallet I see a lot of information about how to import a paper wallet into Electrum but can't find much in the other direction. I want to generate a paper wallet from this site (locally) so that I can store the amount. To do that I need a WIF private key. In Electrum I can see my master public key, my transaction ID, my receiving address, and I can export private keys. When I export private keys it is 27 pairs of addresses and private keys. I see this conversion procedure for private keys to WIF or vice versa. And this website to implement it. My question is why are there 27 key pairs in electrum for one wallet? Do I choose one and convert that? Is the balance split up amongst the keys? http://ift.tt/2ptTjMS
