Take a look at this thread...

After you press CTRL and Print Screen, open Paint or Word and press CTRL and V to paste the screen shot.

When you press print screen, you then need to paste as new image, into a graphics program, to make a picture of your screen. You can print out the picture.

You can also just drag and drop the folder into your web browser.... and save it to file just the same as saving a webpage.

Thanks everyone. Funny that Jane was posting a similar question at the same time (I didn't realize when I saw the name of her thread that she was aiming to copy file names). It worked for me to do control print, then control V into a word document. A little awkward in terms of getting all the details to show - but certainly doable.

Mikie - I tried the dragging and dropping. Now that was the kind of solution I wanted. It saves it in a simple list - without all this blank space from the screen shot. What an incredibly helpful tip. The first time I tried saving it I chose as text - but that was a mess. The second time I chose as a web page - is that the correct way to do it? And will it stay on my computer?

This brings up a problem I've had but didn't think about asking before. I have often saved webpages - esp. from this forum and the cooking forum. But when I go back to open them up, they present a whole list of different files - like a logo from the page, etc. It's no longer complete and recreatable. Is that because I saved it in the wrong format?

I had just recently deleted a couple of these when I thought there was no resurrecting the information. Glad I didn't erase more than a few. So if I want to, say, save this thread, I'd hit file, then save as, and choose web page complete? web page html? text files? or all files? Looking at the mess of files from things I saved in the past, I suspect I chose all files - but I honestly don't recall making a selection (and certainly I didn't understand the selection).

This is such a useful way for me to save some information. I don't always just want to bookmark something - esp. those web pages that may not be there when I want to refer to them years down the road.

Thanks.
Lynn.

Thank you.
