can you print a list of files in my documents?

[Beverly]

i'm trying to print a list of the documents that i have
in word because i need to keep track of those that have
been printed and those that i need to print. however i
can think of no way to do this other than to retype
document titles in an excel sheet by hand. Is there any
way i can accomplish this with commands?
thank you

There are a number of ways I do this. I'll order them in my own
personal priority way of attractiveness ... you are free to re-order
this list!

My favourite:
1. Go to a DOS command box.
2. change directory to the directory holding the documents (cd command)
3. issue the command: dir *.doc > list.txt
4. issue the command: notepad list.txt
5. Edit out any files that you don't want in the list,then print.

If files in multiple folders, you can repeatre steps 2 and 3. You can
even get fancy and append all to same file with >> instead of >

Another Way
1. With Windows Explorer show all the files with "list".
2. maximize the panel showing the files (move separator bar to left) to
show as many files as possible, hopefully all of them.
3. Press Alt-PrtScrn to copy image to clipboard
4. Open empty word document. Press Ctrl-V to paste image into Word.
5. Print.
