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

Do you mean you want your contact sheet to include, say, a thumbnail of each
Word document or other Office document, as well as thumbnails of graphics files?
If that's what you're after, no, I don't know how to do that, in Word or in any
other program.

Thanks, Jay.
I've been using Irfan and the contact sheet printer works great for image
files. I guess I asked the wrong question though. What I really want to do
is print a contact sheet of the thumbnails in a folder containing many file
types such as Word documents, photos, Powerpoints, etc. Any idea how to do
that? I appreciate your help!

Thanks,
Alex

Is there a way to make a table and automatically insert photos from a folder?


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.
