How can I print multiple documents (all located in the same folder) such that
they come out of the printer in alpha/numeric order by file name?

We have project directories that contain up to 30 individual word documents.
From the file dialog box I can select all of the documents and print them,
however, they come out of the printer (HP4050N) in unpredictable random
order. I would like them to print in alphanumeric order by file name.
 
You will need a macro to do it. See the article "Insert into a document the
names of all files in a selected folder" at:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/InsertFileNames.htm

to see how to get all of the filenames, you will then need to include code
to sort the list and then more code to get the name of each document from
the list in turn, open it and print it out.
