I need to print the disk directory contents. In DOS this was possible. Is it
possible in WORD? Thanks

No - but you could use the freeware Printfolders utility you can download
from my web site that will produce a text listing that you can open in Word.

Hi Dov,

It is possible to print directory contents in Word in the DOS format in the
following way.
1. Click Start and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type cmd and press Enter.
3. In the Command window that opens, use the cd command as you did in DOS to
navigate to the desired folder.
4. Enter the following after the Command prompt: dir * > dir.txt
5. In Word open the file dir.txt in the folder to which you navigated.
6. Press Ctrl+P and print the contents of dir.txt.

You can modify the command in step 4 by adding switches after the asterisk.

You can use Directory Report
<a href="http://www.file-utilities.com">http://www.file-utilities.com</a>

This is a directory printer utility which can save its output to the clipboard. Then all you have to do is paste within word. This is much simpler than saving content to a temporary file
