I have a large assembly and I would like to print off a list of all the components (parts) from that assembly without having to create a drawing and produce a bom...

Look in SW Help Topics for "bill of materials, Excel-based".
After you have created the drawing, insert an Excel BOM on your SW drawing of the Assy, then click it once, then File>Save As.

It is probably not exactly what you want (it will list the entire path for each part), but could be a start.

Melam, your method works great too, especially if i want to import the path name/location of each item also.
So for both methods, i imported the data into Excel, designated the Delimiters to separate the data columns, and pasted the data.
