printing as a text file

    Hi,

    I'm looking for suggestions. I've got a program which returns a set of numbers and I want to distribute this set of numbers to a group of people.
    The problem is I can't click "select all" and then copy them to a text document.
    The program doesn't allow me to export the results to a text file.
    I can't see all the numbers on one screen so I can't click Alt-Gr to save them as a bitmap for distribution.

    I was thinking of using a printer and diverting to a text file if that were possible but I don't know how to do that. Back when I was using DOS I'd just divert the output to a file rather than to screen. Can't think how to do something similar in Windows.

    Any ideas?

    www.pdf995.com - (Adware) will allow you to print PDF's

    or

    Pick Generic / Text only printer from the list (manu might be m$) and set to print to file.

    Thanks, that worked.

    Knew I had to use a printer of some description but couldn't remember it's name or where in the list it was.
