Diane, What you are referring to is call "Print to a file." This saves the document to a file rather than printing it when you select the configured printer port. In order to save anything all you have to do is use the save feature in a program. But what if the program doesn't have a save button, only a print button? What you need to do to "print to a file" is to configure a port like this (name the port thus): "A file name, such as C:\Dir\Filename. All jobs sent to this port are written to the named file, and each new job overwrites the last one." (From the XP Help files.) I hope this helps. J.
