I need to resolve a problem involving multiple copies of my Outlook 2003
..pst file. I ran a search for ".pst" and found a number of files located in
assorted places with different files sizes and paths. I need to print that
list.

I use two monitors so a "Print Screen" picture isn't sufficient; too small.
I can't find a command on any toolbar that lets me copy this list. What am I
missing?

This cannot be accomplished without using a third party utility. Here is one using a freeware utility.

The quickest solution I can think of would be to do the
following:

Go to Start -> Run.
Enter cmd.exe in the Open box and click OK.
Enter the following in the Command Prompt window.
Dir C:\*.pst /s > C:\PST.txt

Note: You would need to change the drive letter if you want to
search on a different drive or partition.

You can then print the PST.txt file.
