How do I make a "contact sheet" of photos?

It is the default tool Windows Explorer uses in Windows XP to display
images. If the file allocation has been reassigned to another application,
right click an image and open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Click the
print button to access a raft of options in the Photo Printing wizard.

You could bear in mind that Windows Picture and Fax viewer can
produce such contacts sheets without the need for further software

There's a much easier way than using Word. Download the free
program IrfanView
(www.irfanview.com). On the file menu, click Thumbnails. Choose the
folder,
select the pictures you want, and click File Create contact
sheet. It also has
lots of options for picture size, additional text, etc.

Okay, it seems to invoke the same printing wizard as MOPM, which would
explain why you can print from MOPM in Windows XP but not in Windows 2000
(because MOPM in XP uses the printing wizard from the Picture and Fax
Viewer).
