Since I have MANY WORD files, I'd like to go through the listing before I
delete/review. Is there a way to simply copy the FILE NAME ONLY on a
document for printing?

Open a new word document, press Alt+F11 to open the VB Editor. Click on
INSERT in the menu and select MODULE.

Enter the following macro code in the module, substituting your path with
the one used below:

Sub PostFileNames

Dim strPath As String
Dim strDocType As String
Dim strDocName As String

strPath = "H:\Word\"
strDocType = "*.doc"
strDocName = Dir(strPath & strDocType)

Do Until strDocName = ""
Selection.TypeText Text:=strDocName & vbCrLf
strDocName = Dir
Loop
End Sub

Return to your document and click TOOLS, select MACRO, and then click MACROS
in the cascade menu. Select the macro named PostFileNames and click the RUN
command button to execute. You'll get one file name per line until all of
the Document files have been listed.

You might have to set the macro security settings to at least medium to run
this. YOu can do that by clicking TOOLS in the menu, selecting MACRO and
then SECURITY. SEt the security to medium or low.
