In previous versions of windows I could high lite a group of files, right
click and choose print.

Windows would open all the files one at a time and print.

It seems in Vista I no longer have that option.

I need to print , for example, 45 single page word files and to do it , I
had to copy them to an XP machine and print from there.

Does Vista not allow printing of an unopened file ?

thanks
 
If all the documents are the same type the option will be available. So
print in groups by file type. Please note that *.doc and *.docx are
different types so you can't have both these file types in your highlighted
list - do all *.doc files then do all *.docx files.
 
It seems the "doc" folders when right clicked do not show "print" as an
option. If tried with "rtf" or adobe files the print command is present .

All files originated on a previos XP computer, mostly created with word 2003.
