How Do I Copy A List Of Filenames Into A Word Document?
Many Thanks,
One problem though, I can't download it to my work computer. I'm being cheeky, I know, but any chance that you could e-mail it to me?

Another possibility is to open a command line window, do an old-fashioned
DIR *.DOC (or whatever...), select with the mouse, copy to the clipboard, paste into Word, and [finally] trim the unneeded bits. While this sounds complicated, it took me less than 30 seconds. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word Bible Blog: http://word.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "TOFFA99" wrote in message ...
