First of all, please use the subject line of your message to give a summary of your question. And second .. don't put yourself down! Someone else may have the same question but were too shy to ask. Now to answer your question. Are you taking about the Help window that is displayed? For example, if I want to get help on org-capture I type the commands: C-h f I am prompted for a function name "describe function: " org-capture A help window is displayed If I wanted to print this window I would: 1. Copy the text in that window C-x h (select buffer) Copy 9from the menu Open a new Word document (I run GNU Emacs on Windows) Paste the text Print the document Alternatively you could save the help window to a text file then print the text file. What operating system are you using? C-x C-w You are asked for a file name myhelp.txt (or whatever name you want) I hope this helps. Char;es
