How to print to file using windows 7?

I clicked on "print to a file" and a dialog box appeared asking me to type in an output file - I did not understand what to do then - Office tried typing - but that was not accepted - so I cancelled printing.

Can you direct me to an explanation and/or instructions please.

I use Home Premium 32 bit

  • How to play .asx files in Windows Media Player

    original title; Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

    Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

    When I try to play the file, WMP shows error then update says "video codec".

    How then can I get this update for the video codec?

    Thank you, Michael Phelps 907

    Hi Mike,.

    an .asx file is not a media file. It is a file that contains a pointer to a content online. So if you are unable to read a .asx file and are able to play other files using Windows Media Player so the best thing is to open the .asx, a Notepad file. When you open the .asx using Notepad, you will see a link that starts by http: and so on. Please copy this link and go to Windows Media Player. On the Windows Media Player window, press the Alt key on the keyboard and click file and Open url. Paste the link and check if Windows Media Player is able to open the link. If she opens the link this is a problem with the formatting of the .asx file and if it does not open the link then it is a problem with the server online of the .asx file. It could be that it is deleted from the server.

    Hope this information helps. Keep us informed on the status of the issue.

    How to print a file of the 8 page to this page after 2 follow 7, then 6-3-4-5?

    Use file > print booklet and go through the settings.

    It's perhaps a bit of trial and error - also don't forget to check your printer for duplex printing options and the size and orientation of the page too.

  • How to identify obsolete files in Windows XP?

    My directory of Windows (XP) rose to more than 10 GB, which for me is more than 30% of my C: drive.  I need to create because I only have 1 GB of free space on C:.  Despite the defrag NTFS seems to perform badly under 20% of free space.  (Yes, my documents and program files take up a lot of space, but not nearly as much as the Windows.)

    I suspect that most of the files in my Windows directory are really outdated, but I can find no documentation MS how to identify obsolete files of Windows.  Unfortunately, KB MS searches return only the details of the specific software issues and warnings no do not delete the contents of the directories like Installer & $hf_mig$ who collectively represent 40% of the space of files in the Windows folder.

    Can someone point me to MS doc on the identification of obsolete files in Windows?

    Can someone point me to a reliable freeware that can analyze my Windows folder & identify obsolete files?

    Thanks, J

    Thank you once again.

    I moved my Documents to my another internal drive, but it was UGLY.  Fortunately, I made a backup before you start.  The Windows Move function fails if a file is locked by a process.  Supposedly gives the user the possibility of closing the lock program, he abandoned the movement rather than a new attempt.  Thus, the move is only partially complete.  The restore function moves the files back, but not all the original files are retrieved.  (Move offers no option to copy all files successfully before deleting the originals).  With backup & some file/folder comparison software, I was able to recover all the lost files (probably).

    In any case, the above is not your fault.  I just thought you should know about the potential problems of moving.  I commented to MS on moving article.  I hope that similar questions are not present in Windows 7.

    I still have 26G standing on C, all Documents & settings Windows and Program Files.  But now I have 7 free G.  Move my Documents was a good idea, just as subjects with MS Move function.

    Thank you once again.  I will mark it as answered.  John
