Printing to a File
 

It's easy to set up a special 'printer' to print documents to a simple text
file:

1. Open the Printers folder in Control Panel
2. Double-click on Add Printer
3. Select Local Printer and click on Next
4. Select Generic from the manufacturer list, and Generic/Text Only from
the printer list, then click on Next.
5. Select File from the available ports list, and click Next a couple
times to add the printer.
6. Highlight the new icon, right-click it and select Properties, then the
Paper tab, and change the paper setting to 'continuous, no
page-breaks.'

You can now select this printer from any Windows application, sending the
output in text format to a file. You'll be prompted for the filename when you print.
