How can I print a list of files within a folder?
Everything works except there is no print option when I click on file. Any
other suggestions? I tried copying and pasting into a blank word document, and the first list did copy, but when I go into a subfold and try and copy and paste, it actually opens the files and pastes the entire file instead of the list of files. Would appreciate any more help I can get  "Jay Freedman" wrote: See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/PrintDocList.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. daldevmom wrote: I want to be able to print the list of files that are filed within a folder.

How can I print a list of files within a folder?
Hmmm... It looks like Microsoft is doing everything in its power to prevent
people from printing lists of files. :-( The Outlook-based procedure in the page I quoted doesn't work in Outlook 2003 because some of the important bits have been removed from Outlook. The non-Outlook-based procedure depends on having a printer assigned to the LPT1 port, which doesn't work with the USB printers that are most common today. I think the best alternative is to search Google for a free utility to print file lists. An example is PrintFolder 1.3 at http://no-nonsense-software.com/freeware/. I haven't used it, so I can't say how well it works -- but there are tons of others on the Net. And while you're in the mood, rewrite your original post as a Suggestion for Microsoft. I think it would get at least a couple of million "yes" votes. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. daldevmom wrote: Everything works except there is no print option when I click on file.

Thanks again for your help. I am hesitant to download any freeware though.
Any advice. Also, how would I rewrite it to be a suggestion and I will do it. Thanks again! "Jay Freedman" wrote: Hmmm...

PrintFolders (currently the 1.2 version) has been available for download
from my web site for some time. What's your problem with freeware? Paying for software doesn't guarantee it works any better. This little utility does exactly what it says on the tin. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org daldevmom wrote: Thanks again for your help.

I have just had a quick look and it does not appear to be the same
application. Stick with the version on my web site. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

How can I print a list of files within a folder?
I do this so often I can practically recite it :-)
1. Open a Windows Command prompt 2. At the cursor, type "CD C:\" (without any quotes). That repositions to the top of C drive. If the folder you're interested in is in another drive, change the letter as appropriate. 3. Now type ³dir /b /n ³ (no quotes, note the final space. Do not hit enter.) 4. Open File Explorer and navigate to the folder you are interested in. 5. Change to List view 6. Select the folder you want, drag it into the Command Prompt and drop it. 7. The path you just dragged should have appeared with quotes. After the quote type ³ list.txt² 8. Now hit Enter 9. Close the command prompt 10. Go look in the root of your C drive. You will find a file named ³list.txt² containing the listing of your folder content. 11. The file names are on the far right. 12. Select all of the text and Copy 13. Open a new document in Word and Paste 14. Hold down the Alt key 15. Drag from the first character on the first line, down and across until you select a vertical column that extends up to but does not include the file names 16. Tap Delete Voila! A directory listing. Keep these instructions: you will need them from time to time :-) Cheers On 16/1/07 4:15 AM, in article , "daldevmom" wrote: I want to be able to print the list of files that are filed within a folder.
