how do I print just the LIST of 75 documents I have in a folder?

[sheilak]

I have written 75 letters and they are in a Folder. I want to print out, not
each full letter, but just the page in the folder that lists all the letters
so I can show someone --just the names and desriptions and dates of all the
letters, not what is in each letter. I want to end up with just the one
printed page of the contents of the Folder.
Is that possible to do?

I am using Microsoft Office 2003 for a PC.

If the file names of the documents hold the information you need, you will
find a macro the does what you want here:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/InsertFileNames.htm

When you want to create the list, first create a new document and make sure
it is the active document. Then run the macro. The macro first opens a “Copyâ€
dialog box in which you must select the folder that holds the documents. The
file names from the selected folder will then be inserted at the end of the
active document.

If you need help on installing a macro, see:

Open the Command Prompt and naviagte to that folder and do "DIR".
Should you desire a Print? DIR > PRN
To copy and paste the text?
At the top of the Command Prompt box,
right click and select EDIT,
then, select ALL,
Then right click and select copy,
Past into what ever software you desire.

There are many freeware utilities that do this as well, two of which are
named:
"PrintFolders"
"Directory Printer"

Where is that information located? Is is part of the title of the file? Or
is it inside the document?

I found that an Excel add-in has this capability. That's just frosting
flowers on the cake too. If you are want to try it, check out ASAP
Utilities, http://www.asap-utilities.com/. (It's made several of my Excel
tasks much easier.)

The printfolders utility you can download from my web site will do this. The
amount of data printed is user configurable.
