How to print window showing folders and subfolders?
I want to search a large database systematically.
I therefore want to be able to print out lists of files. folders and sub folders seen on the screen. Pressing the key "print screen" or making a copy by by pressing ALT+Print screen doesnt seem to work. |

But, why buy an extra program when the capability is built into Windows?

Some users mistakenly assume that PrintScreen works as it did in the
original DOS, and aren't aware that the clipboard gets invoked as an intermediary. I read OP's query as saying that PrintScreen doesn't print anything. If indeed it doesn't place a copy into the clipboard, then there likely are significant OS problems. I would think that SnagIt, Collage and other screen capture facilities go through the same system routine that PrintScreen does, so, if it's not working, then the other programs likely would encounter problems as well. I guess we'll see, if OP clarifies... -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "Anne Troy" wrote in message ...

And I saw it as some kind of proprietary (database) software that somehow
disables Windows print screen.  ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote in message ...

When you press Print Screen, a copy of the whole screen is copied to the
clipboard. Alt+Print Screen copies just the current window to the clipboard. To print out either, paste the clipboard into a document, and then print. There are macros written by others that will create a Word text listing of a folder, if you need to have text format, instead. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "angharad" wrote in message ...

For other ways to print a list of folders, see

PrintScreen and Alt+PrintScreen capture the screen/active window to the
Clipboard. You can then paste the image into a Word document or any other Windows application. -- Suzanne S.
