Print to a File
The Problem:
My supervisor wants a full-color, glossy printout about the size of a barn door of our annual report. I called the local print-o-rama, and they can do it, but they don't have Word on their computers, and I can't install a copy there just to print. So I'm stuck unless I hike over to Kinko's in the city.
The Solution:
What you need to do is print to a file (that is, save the print output to a file), take the file along to the print shop on a CD or memory card, and print it there. For best results, find out which printer you'll use at the print shop, and then install the driver for that printer on your PC. Choose File Print, select that printer, check the "Print to file" box, choose any other settings (for example, specify which pages to print), and click the OK button. In the Print to File dialog box, specify the name and location of the file. Copy the file to a CD or memory card and hop along to the print shop. Remember to switch back to the appropriate printer before you try printing another document.
