Export or Print Reminders

I need to be able to print my Reminder that I've named Tickler File. The idea of printing a screenshot might work for a short reminder list, but my list includes 108 reminders that I'm constantly editing as I complete a reminder and move it to the following month. I depend on this Tickler File list so that I don't miss any important tasks or tax reports.

I backup this list each week by creating a new Reminder, naming it Backup June820 (or whatever the current backup date is), then copying all the items in my Tickler File reminder and pasting them into the Backup reminder. If I could also paste them into a Word document, then I could print that, but even though I'm able to Select All/Copy, it will not Paste into Word.

MacBook, macOS 10.15

My interpretation of the Reminders are they are not intended to print or use outside of the iDevice. There is already an app that does that. If you want to use them in another way, send feedback to Apple. What you want does not currently exist.

Unfortunately, that would totally bog down my calendar if I created 6-10 reminders on each calendar day for my tickler file, which when I complete each task, I change the date to the following week. That would make it hard to see what meetings and appointments I have for each day at a glance.

I just want to be able to print or export my full Tickler File (105-110 reminders) in Reminders, and not just screen shots which would only capture a portion of the file.

I'm thinking that Apple techs must be able to figure out a way to make that possible.

Can you elaborate - what app are you thinking of that exists that provides functionality similar to reminders but gives the opportunity to export/print the list out? Definitely interested in this capability! Thanks!

You'd probably be better off using a Calendar event. You can print those, and you can drag the word document into the event and have it embedded in the event.

Calendar, as mentioned in my first reply.

Reminders are just calendar events wrapped up in a different package.
