Printer list Word 2003 and Windows xp

External Since: Mar 31, 2007 Posts: 2

I have two computers a 2000 and a XP, with Word 2003 on both. When using the
2000 computer, I can select from a list of printers, in a list (detail).
When using the XP computer, the list is in Icon format (takes a lot of space
to scroll). Is there a way to change this view to detail view? I've tried
going to Printers in Control Panel and changing the view, but it does not
carry over to Word as a default view. Is this jus a XP thang?

Among the ways to do this:

Navigate to My Computer. On the right side of the toolbar there will be
an icon that looks like a small windows with icons. There is a
down-turned arrowhead. Left mouse-click on it. select Details. Now,
Select Tools from the upper ribbon followed by Folder Options
View. Click on Apply to All Folders. OK out.

Let us know.
