How do I Print a directory

1. How do I print a directory.
2. Can I set it up so that it prints directories of subfolders.
3. Can word includes names of non-word files, i.e. Adobe files in the
directory. If not, anyone know how to do it.

I'm not certain what you are trying to accomplish, but I don't think
Word, in and of itself, can generate the filenames from a directory on
a drive. But, in response to your questions:
1. See this link: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article01-451
There are other ways, like doing a screen capture and then pasting and
printing that image from a graphics program, such as "Paint".

2 and 3. It doesn't appear that the utility in the link provided will
automatically do sub-directories, but you could obviously do it
manually for each sub-directory. You can get such a file by using the
command prompt from within windows. Click on START, RUN, type CMD and
press enter. Then, using DOS the command CD (change directory),
navigate to the folder you want the listing for. Then, you can type
DIR *.* /S >LISTING.TXT and press enter. This will create a text file
with a listing of the filenames for that folder and all sub-folders.
If you only want PDF files listed, then type DIR *.PDF /S >LISTING.TXT
(note that there is a space before the /S and before the > in each of
these). You can then open that file in Word and print it as you would
any other file.

I found a wonderful, if partial, answer to your request. I'm not
super-technical, so I really appreciated the simplicity and accuracy of this
solution, which came from Microsoft itself. Go to
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321379

As they advised, I avoided using the Registry Editor. (I don't even know
where it is.) As in one of the original replies to your question, this will
print directories and filenames, but it will not open directories to print
the filenames.

I have this installed and it normally works once, then after rebooting it
only print the following line:
Directory of C:\
