saving to print file - *.prn ... how do I print it?
Instead of printing the document I saved it to file and it was given the prn
extension. Just now I went to print it and Windows could not open it. I 'associated' it with Word and still nothing. Perhaps I don't understand how this works. I assumed that by printing to 'file', I could then print the document at a later date. This is not a major issue as I will open the *.doc ducument and print it from there. Thanks, DH |

It is no longer a Word file. All you need to do is drag and drop it onto
your printer Icon. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Dave Horne" wrote in message ... Instead of printing the document I saved it to file and it was given the prn extension.

Suggestion: Print to a .pdf file the next time. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Dave Horne" wrote in message ...

If you want to know about printing from a .prn file (which is just a capture of the binary data that would otherwise have been sent over the wire to the printer), see http://filext.com/faq/print_from_prn_file.php. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
