Steps:

1. Compare two files in ExamDiff Pro.
   
   
   
   
2. The first step to printing a diff report is to go to Files | Page Setup (or click on the Page Setup toolbar button ) and select the options that you want. For the most part these options are self-explanatory, but one merits an explanation: selecting No Background does not print any colored backgrounds, useful for conserving ink.
   
   
   
   
3. Next, review the diff report you are going to print by going to Files | Print Preview (or by clicking on the Print Preview toolbar button ):
   
   
   
   
4. Finally, press Ctrl-P to bring up the Print dialog. After making all necessary changes, click on OK and the diff report is printed. Note: Clicking on the Print toolbar button will print the diff report without showing the Print dialog.
   
   
   
   
5. Diff reports for directories are printed the same way as for files. Also, if the Print file diffs when printing directory diff report option in Options | Dir Comparison | More is enabled, whenever a directory diff report is printed ExamDiff will also print diff reports for each pair of changed files.
   
   
   
   
6. Now let's try printing a diff report for a selection. Compare two files in ExamDiff, and select a text fragment in either file. Press Ctrl-P and set the Print Range option to Selection. This will print a diff report that contains only the selection, and the corresponding lines in the other file. Note: Checking the Default print uses selection (if it exists) option in Options | Misc will make ExamDiff print the selection by default, and will also make Print Preview show a diff report of the selection.
