How can I save the Spotlight image/picture that appears on my screen when I use Spotlight?

I need to use a list of the sources/locations that Spotlight has found for a given title/name/description,/etc. The problem is, whenever I try to do anything: print, copy, move, zoom, etc., Spotlight vanishes from my screen. Is there a way to preserve Spotlight's list?

Okay, the full-screen copy worked. I was trying to copy in sections, because the list extends beyond the screen, but a partial copy couldn't be done. However, I can obviously use the full-screen shot by just moving the image down and taking more than one full screen copy. I just hope that I'll be able to expand those images later so that I can read them.

I'm quitting for today. I just noticed that I posted an answer into the wrong conversation, so that's a sign that it's time to stop. Anyway, I finally managed to print the entire list produced by Spotlight. I would have preferred more than one sheet, but that's another problem.
