Re: Printing browse screens in Millennium

[Elizabeth Thomsen <et@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Capturing screenshots is a very handy skill, one that we use extensively 
for training material.  But it's certainly not a quick way of printing a 
list, and the captured image is just that, an image, and you can't edit 
the text or delete fields from a record to use the data for some other 
purpose. 

On the Enhancements ballot for Database Maintenance, there's an item to
add a Print option on browse screens, and all other screens that lack one,
to give libraries the ability to print or capture results for various
purposes.  I encourage your support for this one, which is doesn't sound
very exciting, but is really important to a lot of systems for a lot of
different reasons.
