Hi,
Is there any way of listing all the files in a directory and importing the
list into a word doc.
TIA
Tony

No direct way. You could use a written vba procedure. See

TonyB shared this with us in microsoft.public.word.newusers:

The simplest way: good old DIR.
Go to a command prompt (Start -- Run; cmd) and type the following:

dir /-p full_path_to_your_directory c:\temp\dir.txt

Et voila: you now have a text file with all files from your directory.
Dir has a lot of other useful switches. You can see them with dir /?
